I find it hard to believe that even 1 rsync will not swamp your bandwidth as disk I/O should be WAY faster than the network.
If you want more speed try the -z (or --compress) rsync option and compress the data transfered.
Funny thing is I usually find that rsync swamps my network and even web service requests from/to the boxes concerned tend to timeout a lot. More often than not, I find myself using --bwlimit to slow things down!
