You probably have a crappy network connection somewhere. Either

  1) Fix the network (trace packets and find out where those UDP
     fragments etc are disappearing.)
  2) Reduce r/wsize
  3) Use NFS over TCP.

Out of the 3 alternatives, 1) is by far the preferable option,
although it is also the hardest. The other 2 options will compromise
on performance.
