I think the biggest use-case is high bandwidth, high latency links. eg you have a 50Mbs WAN link to a site in another country, and can never get more than (say) 5Mbs. Parallelizing the data transfer could easily push that up to 20-30Mbs ...and there is a "competitor" to rsync that does this - bbcp. Mirror a directory from hostA to hostB using 'N' tcp streams.
