Except for the parameter to nfsd to start more daemons, what other
parameters or tricks can I use to tune NFS server peformance in
NetBSD?  Is NBUF of any relevance for a machine with much memory?

I have been asked to install NetBSD/i386 on a 200 MHz Pentium-Pro
system with 128 MB of memory and a SCSI-2 in order to compare its
performance against that of Solaris 2.4 on the same system.  In the
initial tests NetBSD is outperformed rather badly although I run with
16 nfsds.

The first thing I discovered was that NetBSD did not detect more than
64 MB om memory on this machine, but Charles Hannum provided me with a
small hack to machdep.c that fixed this problem.
