Are there any current, in play plans, to multi-thread rsync?

Not at present.  That would be a pretty big protocol change, and is probably
something that would be best left to a new-protocol rewrite.  It would be
quite interesting to have separate connections for the hierarchy traversal
code versus one or more file transfer connections that were controlled by
the traversal process, but that is not something that I'm working on, nor
have I heard about anyone else doing that.
