Rsyncing via LAN deadly slow

Hi, I'm backing up contents of my
GOBook(http://sascoet.mutu.fdn.fr/monalbum/albums/sa-12082010fujitsugigamos2300scsifleury-les-aubraisrecusdemonsauveurcomputermagneticsdmc-lx2/sa-1208201012h39fujitsugigamo2300scsiconnecteagobookfleury-les-aubraisrecusdemonsauveurcomputermagneticsdmc-lx2.jpg)
before it dies completely on a dell laptop via my LAN(netstat indicates a
11.8MB/s speed between the two computers via this one).
On the GOBook I launch "rsync --daemon"(3.1.1-3 version)
On the dell: rsync -abSbHXz --progress(3.1.2-1 version)
CPUs are doing almost nothing. So does the GOBook HDD. The destination is on a
mounted logical volume in Ext2 on a nvme SSD.
And the indicated speed transfer is around 50kB/s!!! I tried -W option: it's
even slower. Same thing when I put off the "z"(anyway, CPUs aren't doing nothing).
If I netstat during the backup, it appears that there is about 4MB/s used, so
almost 100 times more than the actual data written on destination! And why not
11MB/s since my network can do it?
I spent hours searching an explanation on the Web, nothing explaining what's
happening in a sufficient satisfaying way for me. Does somenone on this list
have a clue?
