Sounds like you're running out of memory (and swap as well). I'd suggest adding memory (adding more swap doesn't make it faster...) or rsyncing smaller bits at a time if possible (if there are many hardlinks across directory trees it may not be feasible to do parts separately as those hardlinks will be lost, for example).
