We also had this problem. I solved it by patching nfsen to run multiple
instances of nfprofile parallel. It is a simple patch as nfprofile can
actually run in parallel very well by design. I actually promised to
submit this patch on several occasions, but I never got to it. I posted
it in the patches section of the nfsen project on sourceforge:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2049518&group_id=134525&atid=730182

If you apply this patch, you can add a $PROFILERS=x variable in your
nfsen.conf, where you can set x to the amount of nfprofile processes you
want to use. We keep this number at least one below the number of
available cores, because this allows the OS to take control of the
remaining one to process the IO. We haven't tested if this is actually
necessary, as this gives us enough processing time either way.

regards,
Werner Schram
