The only way is to run multiple clients on that node concurrently.  For
example,
you could divide your filesystems into groups of N, where N is the number
of
CPUs.  Then have N clients do each a share of the total.  It complicates
things
since you actually have to specify the fileystems (instead of simply
running an
inclremental) but can make for a dramatic improvement, especially  when
those
other CPUs are relatively idle.
