It is a fairly fast hardware. About temp location I see others have 
already given the right advices.

Look in the network connections , right click the connection and select 
"File and printer sharing for Microsoft Networks" -> Properties. You 
will find a setting that enables to select how Windows allocates memory 
for applications and file cache, see here:

You should check if the server NIC(s) can handle all the incoming data, 
or if its network interface gets overloaded. It should not, but tuning 
the NIC could help too.

Also, heavily disk fragmentation could decrease performance - you could 
try to defragment your disks.
