Have done the same, found that rsync seems to not natively parallelize itself, so spread across 20 cores, it really screamed.

Damn, I could use some advice there. Right now I have a system which uses rsync to backup some files. It takes about 8 hours to go over 7+ million files (~3.5TB). I'd love to speed up this. I should mention that copy is done over curlftpfs :(.
