I tried using more potent hardware. It turned out that if I work on
servers with more RAM, thrashing doesn't occur, so the restore-process is
able to finish.

Involved in the restore are directories with ~30000 files. I suppose that
this is a hint about what's going on. Maybe rdiff-backup uses some
somewhat "expensive" python container structures which makes rdiff-backup
consume lots of RAM while restoring?
