You might try async in the exports file. According to the man page:
sync Reply to requests only after the changes have been
committed to stable storage (see async above).
Alternately, do your copies the other direction (i.e., export the
filesystem that has the files you want to copy, then mount it on the
machine you are copying to, so your writes are to local disk).
In general, working with many small files is likely to be slow no
matter what you do.
