+git-annex import without --content does not copy files at all, so the disk
+IO would AFAICS be it hashing files. (Unless you have annex.synccontent
+set.)
+
+But when it does transfer the imported file from the remote, either at sync time 
+or because of a later get, it currently does not make reflinks. That should
+be relatively easy to fix.
