I have this same issue, and it's terribly annoying. FYI, I hope we
can get filesystem lzma'd tarballs up (as dsd/OLPC are doing to XO 1.5
builds) somewhere soon to help with this type of thing. As well we
can get pre-partitioned streams of bits that can be cat'ed to a USB
block device of 1, 2, or 4G so that the whole livecd-iso-to-disk.sh /
decide on drive partitions / etc. can be skipped for the XO build[1].

There isn't perhaps a kernel difference or significant memory pressure
difference, is there? /me wonders aloud about the utility of cgroups
to limit the rsync's memory / cpu usage for diagnosis purposes.

1. For the XO build. Only. livecd-iso-to-disk.sh has a lot of
functionality for the non-XO build (home/root overlays,
MBRs/bootable-ness for a variety of BIOS/EFT targets, etc.) that I
don't think we want to decide for our learners/testers/deployers.
