Unmounting Qtrees

In all pods that perform a scan or perform scans (connmgr pods, our pods that perfom deep inspection scans,.....) a NFS is mounted under nfs/scanner we already have a latency of 1 or 2 secs with only 25 Qtrees being mounted there. We expect having big latency when scanning e.g 5000+ qtrees because all of this Qtree will be mounted and will stay mounted for ever. when a qtree is scanned succssfully would it possible to unmount it and may be remove the directory? would it be impacting somewhere?
