I have added the "async" option to the "additional mount options" section.

Transferring from my raided SSD mirrors is QUITE fast now.

However, this might be confusing, but if I read/write to the nfs share at
the same time performance plummits.

So if I grab something from the SMB share over 10gb network and write this
to my VM being hosted on the NFS share.  Bad performance.

Or If I copy and paste ISO from the VM to itself, horrible performance.

If I grab a file from a VM on my raised SSD storage and copy it to my VM on
the NFS Share, it has great performance (400+ MB/s)

Not quite sure what's going on!  However if I grab something from the 1gbps
network everything seems okay.  Or if I change the NFS Mount to the 1 gbps
everything is okay.

Any ideas?
