'Rsync takes longer time “receiving incremental file list”
I am using rysnc to copy files from remote host to local machine using a cron job. Every time I need the rsync to copy new files only from remote host. But its getting struck at this line "receiving incremental file list" for very long time. Below is the command I am using. Is there any other way I can fasten up this rsync process?
rsync -avz --inplace --progress --delete -ahe ssh remoteuser@remotehost:/home/bin/dir1/data /home/bin/dir1

Have you tried with --delete-before, --delete-after or --delay-updates?
Some options require rsync to know the full file list, so these options disable the incremental recursion mode. These include: --delete-before, --delete-after, --prune-empty-dirs, and --delay-updates. Because of this, the default delete mode when you specify --delete is now --delete-during when both ends of the connection are at least 3.0.0 (use --del or --delete-during to request this improved deletion mode explicitly). See also the --delete-delay option that is a better choice than using --delete-after.
