If your problem is only on the load, using a better TFTP server would
satisfy you, I think. I don't know what server you use, but I'd
recommend Advanced TFTP, since it is multi-threaded and you can set
the maximum number of threads arbitrarily. I haven't tested this
actually, but they claim that ATFTP is capable of serving large
clusters.
