rsync is just about the pessimal CephFS workload as things stand right
now. (Just FYI, this is probably the worst case you'll ever see.) The
MDS is basically single-threaded so far and you're pretty certain to
be CPU-bound.

Anyway, if the only problem you're seeing is that it's using all your
memory...congrats, you sized it well. Otherwise, the size of your
active set is much more important than the total number of files in
the cluster and you should work that out.
