It sounds to me like an intermittent network problem that is outside the control
of rsync.  How much testing on the 2.4.6 version did you do to know that the
problem did not recur?  It may be that the network was just behaving itself
during that time.

The other thing it can be is the startup time necessary for the sending side to
scan all the files: if the host that is scanning the files is doing a lot of
I/O, it can be slow the first time you run the command, after which the normal
OS caching of the diretory info would cause the next run to occur much more
rapidly.  You can use the --progress option to see if rsync is scanning files.

If it is not either of those possibilities, please provide more info.  Is the
ssh connection already open?  What did rsync last do before the hang?
