Well, if we escape cache on the client and do a direct copy to/from fileserver we gain almost a factor of 2 on reads and up to 25% on writes (we used the "Atrans" binary authored by Rainer Toebbicke in our tests). Without cache on client, AFS is still some 25% less performant than NFS. This is (fileserver+rx). Of course, namei contributes visibly. We could probably estimate namei vs inode using Solaris x86 on a recent pc hardware (may be rather tricky, as the newest hardware may be not supported by this os).
