I forgot to mention that the buffer sizes, block sizes and window sizes you use can also make a big difference. You need to calibrate those for your systems and you need to understand the characteristics of your source and destination nodes. If you are desparate for performance, you may need to use parallel streams, and the number of parallel streams you can optimally use also needs to be calibrated.
