In an admittedly non-backuppc environment I've been experimenting with using 'rsync -W' (this means don't use the rsync algorithm) to see if problems similar to the ones you describe go away. I'm still not sure of the result. Using rsync with the "-W" argument means that complete files will be transfered instead of changed pieces. In an environment where files tend to change completely, or not at all, it makes sense to try this because it means that rsync itself has less to do. I read somewhere that the rsync algorithm is intended for environments where disk bandwidth is greater than network bandwidth. That's a good way to think about it.
