Bob, I'm pretty clueless about nfs, because samba works well enough for me and it doesn't require additional stuff on the clients, but here are my ideas anyway... 1) Did you ask the LabF people about the slowness? Is it only slow hooking to a linux server, or is it slow on LabF servers too? 2) nfs is very sensitive to the rsize and wsize options. I'm not sure what the defaults are, but I used 8k when I was trying to optimize on a 10base2 network. Maybe the LabF nfsclient is using odd block sizes that are optimized for their own nfs-server?

My test is a directory with a little over 5 M of various size files copied between the 2 Linux boxes using either Windows or Linux. Linux is, understandably, faster but it is still slow.
