Have you used a tool like 'iftop' to check the network traffic while this is
going on?

Have you tried 'dstat' or 'iostat' or 'atop' or the like to see how much
disk activity is going on at each end?

I'm not doubting you; I've seen similar behavior at times. I suspect a bug
in some rsync implementation somewhere along the line.
