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.

Kicked ass.  'Cept all you need is a $500,000 EMC SAN.
