What kind of connectivity details can you relay? 

I'm cloning from various models of EMC Disk Libraries to a Quantum i2k with 
LTO3 drives and see sustained speeds between 100 MB/s and 120 MB/s, but then 
sometimes I see 10-15 MB/s.

The reason, as every consultant will tell you, is it depends.  For example, if 
your multiple instances of nsrclone are trying to read virtual tapes that are 
on the same RAID group (or equivalent), then you're going to get lower 
performance than if they are on widely different RAID groups.  That's just one 
example, there are tons of others.   Give us some more details and maybe 
something will leap out.
