The large size file transfer mentioned in the original posting sounds like the problem I'm having, too, but I'm not using NFS, I'm using an mdadm RAID1 setup. When a large file is copied, only the dpkg/apt/synaptic packages run slowly. The rest of the system seems to function well, including text terminals, gdm, and file transfers within and between non-RAID drives.
I do not remember having this problem with any other Ubuntu flavors and versions. It started when I setup RAID. If I remove the RAID, or do not transfer large files when running the package programs, it does not seem to cause problems.
