If filesystem operations are a bottleneck, maybe it would be a good
solution to work on an abstract, virtual file system, which could be
implemented in different ways depending on situation. In get it could be
an in-memory file-system. 

You could also use it to implement ssh/scp/sftp/shfs push/pull
transparently.

If you are interested, I could do a little reseach on feasibility of
this approach.

Best regards,
Tom
