Is it possible to not use staging folder for DFS replication for DFS servers in LAN

We have Win 2012 R2 DFS servers that are in the same LAN.
And have noticed replication backlog on quite a few replication groups.
I would like to know if DFS can replicate without using staging space and allow it to use full bandwidth.
Apparently there is a command to configure DFS to not use staging folder but I can't find that in documentation.

DFS Replication is designed to use the staging folder for each replicated folder to act as caches for new and changed files that are ready to be replicated from sending members to receiving members.
