You could break your list of files up into a few separate lists, then
feed each one to a separate 'save' process.

I'm not sure about your speed limitations.  Even one 'save' can generate
significant traffic.  You might want to try to figure out where your
bottleneck is (disk, network, CPU, something else...).  You might not go
any faster with multiple saves.
