Actually, that first scan is just to determine total file size of everything duplicity will touch. We run duplicity in 'dry-run' mode and let it tell us the size of all included files. But really, we could probably tell that easily enough ourselves without asking duplicity.
That would be a good improvement to skip the lengthy dry run. It might be as simple as running du on the directories.
