The impact has been severe! Even with NFS-stored indexes, our netapp is seeing 1/6th of the NFS ops per second, and its CPU utilization is now at 1/3rd previous levels.

Have you thought about enabling Squat indexes? I'd like to know how much it would affect I/O and CPU usage in larger installations. CPU grows (maybe a lot) but searches should be faster and use very little I/O as a result.
