Is it possible to sleep 1 second after each file

If you are concerned about giving the rest of the system
some time to "breathe" then just nice the rsync process.

nice -n 19 rsync ... etc

This would not help, regarding i/o.

Care to elaborate?

It wasn't obvious whether Mag Gam was concerned about
bandwidth usage or process usage and seeing that Benjamin
already provided the --bwlimit hint I thought I would add
a process friendly clue as well.

The real I/O gets done "outside" the rsync process, by the kernel.

SUSE had a tool named ionice earlier (probably it is gone meanwhile) which really could delay I/O at the kernel phase.
