Are both hosts remote (over Internet) or local (LAN)?

That can be because rsync performs better for small chunks of data 
instead bigger ones.

I would run a bunch of tests to transfer one file (~1 GiB) with different 
tools (scp, ftp, http, rsync...) and choose whichever gives the fastest 
results :-)

Note: adding a secure channel (ftps/sftp/scp/https...) will delay the 
transfer.
