AIX File Copy

TAR AND CPIO not quick enough - OS LEVEL 5.2

We need to copy millions of files around 42gb. Ls command does not come back complaining of memory.
A basic copy comes back with i cant read the directory. TAR too slow, left running for 48 hours but killed as users were accessing the system.
Does anyone know if there is a command that can copy this data quickly or is there a script that could be written to assist.

Any help appreciated
