In particular, each additional file means rsync needs more memory.
If you find that you don't have enough memory (or that you start
to swap!!) the easy solution is to split the rsync job into two
or more pieces. If you've got any sort of directory hierarchy
this should be simple.

You can do a hot backup by simply setting all the tablespaces in backup
mode (alter tablespace 'BLAA' begin backup).
Then you can rsync the database files and do an 'end backup' on each
tablespace after.
This will give you files that are consistient and the database will be
recoverable from tho
I second that. We backup Oracle on Solaris but we insist that the
oracle is down.
