We had that same problem too with transferring lots of little files across and NFS mount from a SAN. We switched from NFS to direct fibre-channel connects and used EMC's Access Logix to prevent people from sneaking around the firewall, which they could do with the NFS solution. They have this "clone partition" thing that would zap the files to another partition. it was a great way to get a staging db to a prod db.
