What would you say about a machineY that exhibited the
following characteristics?

1. AnyClientN can copy large files from machineY
   to local disk very quickly(via NFS). i.e.
   # cp /nfs/machineY/BigFile .

2. NFS file operations run by AnyClientN on the machineY
   filesystem show wild variations in the time required
   to process lstat64 and open64 system calls. i.e.
   # find /nfs/machineY/DirWithManyFiles > /dev/null
   This command takes any where from 1 to 20 seconds with
   most of the time being spent in the lstat64 and open64
   system calls.


machineY is:
Solaris8 w/64 bit
2x750 UltraSparc3
SunSwift Gigabit ethernet
Switched Network
Same subnet as client via vlan
Clients are mix of Solaris 7 and 8
Linux clients are consistently as fast as heck.
