Are you running compression on the file systems that you're rsync'ing to?
That'll drive up the load average pretty high, and it's in the kernel (from
what I can tell).
In particular, I've seen gzip compression on ZFS file systems bump the load
average over 60 when running multiple parallel rsyncs

Hi world,
I have a 10-disk RAID-Z2 system with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo.
It's exporting ~280 filesystems over NFS to about half a dozen machines.
Under some loads (in particular, any attempts to rsync between another
machine and this one over SSH), the machine's load average someti
