The issue is two fold.  One is that SQLite still does locking operations
even if you open read only (which may not be expected by some users but is
necessary).

The second is that file locking on NFS is pretty much always buggy.  Back
when I developed file servers it was hard to not crash NFS lock daemons!
Even if file locking was done correctly and reliably it would still require
round trips to the server for all the locking operations and various
interactions with the client side attribute and data caches.  Each new NFS
version has improved the situation but we don't know exactly version is in
use and if it is 100% correctly implemented.  NFS implementations sell
themselves on performance not locking correctness :-)
