"nfs shares are usually local": this is completely counter-intuitive. NFS = 
Network File System. I think most would agree than a "network" file system is 
definitely not a local one (and would rightly so, when considering the 
differences in terms of access latencies).
Even on a high-bandwidth LAN (with 10GbE and 500+ Gb/s core switching 
capacity), having Nautilus preview feature enabled by default on NFS shares 
just throws our filers down, thanks to thumbnailing kicking in when users 
browse their 20'000+ (scientific research) videos folder.
