I think there's a trade-off. TCP mounts deal with heavy parallel
client loads better then UDP because they do real congestion and
streaming control whereas NFS's UDP implementation fakes it. A UDP
mount will work better for a large parallel load from a single client.
I tend to use both types of mounts but I personally prefer TCP mounts
over UDP because they are more secure and easier to get through a
firewall.
