- use the "render local" option, which writes the images to a temp directory on the render machines, then copies to the server. - set chunk size to a large number to minimize the number of times the scene has to be loaded by the network machines - turn off any unnecessary aovs - try to set up local simulation caches on the render machines - don't know what renderer you're using, but most can save you a lot of disk read if you convert all textures to tiled mipmapped versions - for that matter, you might want to set up local texture caches too.
