I'm assuming that this bulky repository has a long history, with thousands of transactions, and you're doing a raw file-system based rsync? Make sure you have rsync version 3.x, to start with, and *do not* try to run it over some poorly tuned intermediate network file system such as NFSv3. And frankly, Sun hardware is rapidly being phased out. I haven't seen anyone using it for production in more than 2 years, only in legacy apps that they have no interest or willingness to change anything for.
