If you have --delay-updates, you have one large dependency on the speed of
your disks while the final operation of moving updates in place completes.

If you also do two stages of rsync, you only depend on the speed of
replacement of each individual index file.

But, for secondary mirrors this extra shrinking of the race condition window
is not terribly important (because you probably don't have users hammering
your site during it :).
