Couldn't you build some new nameservers, register them as hosts at
InterNIC and re-delegate your domains between the new machines? If you
limited each nameserver to 55,000 zones they should be quicker loading. 
If you are an authorised contact on the domains you should be able to
re-delegate them easily enough - just run a perl script sending out
all those e-mails.
