Copying millions of files within a volume

Hello,

 

I have a customer that ingests millions of small files into a netapp volume and then copies the data to another directory in the same volume.  Sometimes my customer experiences latency when copying the files.   I don’t see volume or controller latency.  I would think the files are already in cache / WAFL when the files are initially ingest therefore the write to another directory would be fast?   Is there a way to remedy this?    would NFS trunking be a solution?

The environment

FAS 8300 controllers running Ontap 9.15p7

Linux servers running RHEL 9
NFS v4.2

 

Thanks
