So with the experience in the Greek schools, can more be said about
performance?

You don't need other people's advice on something you can easily measure yourself. Here's a comparison between NORMAL, BINDFS, SSHFS and NFS for copying an .iso:

================================================================
root@pc:/NORMAL/dir# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@pc:/NORMAL/dir# time cp ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso \
                             ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.bak
real    0m29.371s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m2.048s
CPU (via top): 50% idle, 40% wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
root@pc:/BINDFS/dir# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@pc:/BINDFS/dir# time cp ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso \
                             ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.bak
real    0m30.852s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m2.320s
CPU (via top): 40% idle, 45% wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
root@pc:/SSHFS/dir# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@pc:/SSHFS/dir# time cp ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso \
                            ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.bak
real    0m50.056s
user    0m0.020s
sys     0m1.620s
CPU (via top): 5% idle, 15% wait
----------------------------------------------------------------
root@pc:/NFS/dir# echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
root@pc:/NFS/dir# time cp ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso \
                          ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-i386.iso.bak
real    0m34.249s
user    0m0.000s
sys     0m1.532s
CPU (via top): 5% idle, 80% wait
================================================================

So that's a 5% drop in performance with bindfs, negligible.
NFS is pretty light too.
On the other hand SSHFS (fat clients, localapps...) takes a heavy toll on the server CPU and that reflects on the time needed to perform file operations as well.
