It could help to break up the file list. 
If your files are in different directories create a stream for each
directory.
For example:
/dir1
/dir2
And so on

If your files are in the same directory then try to break the files in
groups. Try something like:
/a*
/b*
/c*

I have seen incredible improvement in performance by doing this.

I would not advice that. it doesn't matter how small your files are you 
will need backup of then anyway.

Try to look at FlashBackup. It had helped a lot of people and it should 
even be supported on Windows from the release 5.0 of NBU
