rsync - Oct 2007 - Any ide why it take long time to run from WinXP to Linux?

I am using rsync2.5.1 on winxp, to rsync about 6GB working directory
to linux host via ssh.

rsync /cygdrive/c/work -arvvze ssh.exe --delete \
       odc4linux1.am.necel.com:/home2/duong/PC_Backup

This should be an weekly update run, and it took over 2-hrs

Well, the simplest explanation is that more source data had changed
than usual or someone renamed a large directory (which looks like a
deletion + creation to rsync).  There could be something else going
on, but I have no idea what it might be from the information you gave.

If the two machines have a really fast network connection, you could
try --whole-file; that will use more network bandwidth in exchange for
reducing CPU time and disk I/O.
