rsync is never particularly fast as there is a lot of handshaking and file examination at each end prior to a transfer. I wouldn't be surprised at 50 Mbps.

scp should be a lot faster as there is no handshaking other than establishing the session; and the encryption/decryption process is not very compute intensive.
