Without compression all data are transferred over network even the file is sparse.
rsync -aS file user@host:/dir
<source lang="bash">rsync -aS --progress file user@host:/dir</source>

With compression speed depends more on CPU performance as all data needs to be compressed. Sparse space is well compressed and transferred data greatly reduced. The data which can't be well compressed are transferred slower than without compression.
<source lang="bash">rsync -aSz --progress file user@host:/dir</source>

==Reclaim space on ext4 image==

Mount old image as loopback device:
<source lang="bash">mount old.raw /mnt/old</source>

Get size of the file:
<source lang="bash">ls -l old.raw</source>

Create second sparse image file with the same size:
<source lang="bash">truncate -s <size> new.raw</source>

Format it with ext4 file system:
<source lang="bash">mkfs.ext4 new.raw</source>

Mount new image as loopback device:
<source lang="bash">mount new.raw /mnt/new</source>

Synchronize entire disk:
<source lang="bash">rsync -aSAXv /mnt/old/ /mnt/new</source>

Unmount disks:
<source lang="bash">umount /mnt/old
umount /mnt/new</source>
