I'm pretty sure it would be faster over ssh but haven't tried that yet. Is this really abnormal? Can any of you give some idea what I should be expecting here?
It is normal. NFS writes are synchronous writes. Unless your server has special provisions to make synchronous writes fast, there will be a significant slow-down.
Doing rsync over SSH the other way around (pull from server) or over a SSH login on the server (push to server) will be primarility limited by the performance of the SSH encryption algorithm used.
For my home-grown backup system, I have the server use ssh to access the system to be backed up, using rsync to transfer the data, and the transfer is efficient.
