Only if you don't manage things and let an unlimited number of threads run.
Your mileage may vary but I moved a CAD file server to a new set up with a new file hierarchy that consisted of several million files in < 24 hours using this technique. Total moved was hundreds of Gb from one RAID array to another.
I usually had a pool of 20 RB threads running at once and it moved plenty fast.
The server admin had thought he'd have to do it by hand until I wrote him an app to do it.
Considering how many man days of work I saved the company they had no issue with what I charged them for this.
