You need to look at sendsize*debug on the client to see where exactly the 
problem is.  At a guess, I'm going to say that /var is your problem 
partition, and things may get a lot better if you exclude 
/var/log/lastlog.

Of course, you can always just increase etimeout.  But it's good to know 
what is taking so long.
