One good diagnostic would be to measure the network bandwidth between the
two systems directly. I use netperf
(http://www.netperf.org/netperf/NetperfPage.html) which often reveals
problems with ethernet duplex, cabling, or switches.
If netperf tests great (i.e. 90+Mbit) I would next try a bare "scp" and
see what kind of throughput you get.
It's also possible that rsync is spending too much time looking for small
changes in a large file. It may be faster to use "--whole-file".
