You could reduce that overhead by running rsync multiple
times, each run doing a different subset of the total
filesystem.  (not that this is a great solution, but I
did this when setting up a similar arrangement some time
ago, and splitting up the amount done by any single rsync
did seem to help)

 So, are there any better tools I could be using, instead of rsync?

 Thanks ...
