Hmm, doesn't NFS require synchronous writes?  Maybe Amiga NFS doesn't
adhere to this semantic requirement?  I've never seen an NFS
implementation that beats file transfer protocols.  It also seem
counterintuitive that a general protocol should be faster than a
specific one...

This is only a guess, I could well be totally wrong...  however I'd be
interested in knowing why NFS ought to be faster in theory, if that is
the fact.
