Having timing information (-tt) in the strace output would help a bit,
as well as parallel client and server straces. However, I guess that
there's an underlying network problem causing this, like a firewall
dropping a too old connection or something like that.  Thus, I'd
suggest to also do a tcpdump -i ethX -n -s0 -w rsync.pcap -C 5 port rsync

This should rotate the pcap files after ~ 5MB, only the very last one
(from client as well as from server) are really interesting.)
