Faster comm on a COPY

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I am using the Akornn software to replicate all the databases from a 
Domino partition on one server to a Domino partition on another server. 
I've been a happy customer for years.

To make a long story short, we decided to delete all 733 mail files from 
the backup server and re-replicate them from the primary.

The problem is the speed of the transmission.  We have 733 mail files 
consuming 163.9GB.  I've been checking it on a periodic basis, and logging 
these time samples in to an excel spreadsheet.  It transfer, on average, 
0.323 files per minute, or 0.071GB per minute.
Gigabit ethernet card in both iSeries.
Boss is pretty good at performance.  Both ethernet cards are under 1% 
utilized.
Cisco Kid says that the switch is bored.
On both machines:
        Domino 5.0.12
        OS = V5R2
        Cume = TL03161
        WRKPTFGRP
        PTF Group             Level
        SF99519                  71
        SF99502                   8
        SF99271                   9
        SF99169                  13
        SF99149                   3
        SF99148                   3
        SF99098                  10
        SF99085                   6
        SF99039                   2

Target job is job that initiates copy:
Subsystem/Job  User        Type  CPU %  Function        Status
DOMINO02       QSYS        SBS      .0                   DEQW 
  COPY         QNOTES      BCI     9.1  PGM-COPY         SELW 

Source job:
Subsystem/Job  User        Type  CPU %  Function        Status
NOTES01        QSYS        SBS      .0                   DEQW 
  SERVER       QNOTES      BCI     2.3  PGM-SERVER       SELW

I did a CHGJOB on both of these jobs:
Target
CHGJOB JOB(COPY) RUNPTY(11) TIMESLICE(20000)
Source:
CHGJOB JOB(SERVER) RUNPTY(19) TIMESLICE(20000)

I've been told by Akornn, that they are using the C++ Api's.  And when I 
upgrade this to Domino R6 that I'll need to get their upgrade, and to 
download the C++ API's from some IBM url because they drop them as a 
default in R6.

I've been promised that URL and the new upgrade via email, but it seems to 
be taking awhile...
