I have a filesystem that has roughly ~600,000 files on it and every
time a new client rsyncs this tree (after 10-20 minutes when the cache

a new rsync. Is there a way, other than running find /path every
minute or so, to keep the listing in memory so the rsyncs would run
much faster?
I second this. I am having the same exact issue right now. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.
Are you sure the time is actually re-traversing the tree, and not
calculating the per-file checksums? Running an rsync server does
present a big load on the server, but traditionally it's not been a
matter of whether or not the directories have been cached, but rather
the fact that rsync doesn't cache the per-file checksums, and has to
recalculate them all each time a new client connects.

For me, this is on the client side, not the server side. Sorry; should
have clarified. It's definitely an issue with the directory tree
falling out of the FS cache. Are you aware of a solution to this?
