I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but connecting the pool in this
way isn't such a great idea, due to potential slowness and reliability
issues.

You don't say how much data this is, what transport you're using, or what
kind of connection there is between the systems. This *could* be
impressively fast for what you're working with. For now, all I can say
is, don't expect miracles out of nfs.

Or the transport, or some options you've chosen along the way. With what
you've provided, #1 seems really likely, though.
