Is this related to OS Swap > spaces, caching etc? nfs does caching as far as I remember ... and if you are using linux, nfs sucks as a technology as far as I have seen. It's much more of a solaris / other unix land technology (performance is much better there). Dont know if things have improved after the one or two times I tried it out last year ...
