Rsync works in a very linear fashion. Try running multiple rsyncs in paralell on different directories of course.
One speedup would be to transfer the checksums and data asyncronously. I havent checked the source on how this is done but I suspect that even this is done in a very linear way wich explains why data transfers have to wait for checksum calculation, transfer and compare.

We are looking at using rsync via a squid proxy to help improve the network tuning. What I am witnessing now is that with each successive file, the transfer speed resets to 0 and ramps up to 2.5MB/s. Is there anyway that I can group these transfers together to take better advantage of our bandwidth? I should be able to peak at 5+MB/s.
