The number of files open is irrelevant so long as it's not in the
thousands or tens of thousands. What is your working set size? I find
it hard to believe that it's really 300 GB, since accessing each block
in such a working set just once is an hour-long operation on gigbit
Ethernet.

Keeping the application you're using a secret doesn't help much, either.
I'd guessed you were doing video editing, actually, but clearly your
application is nothing at all like that.
