| Actually, a couple of other things to look at:

| * Look at the network statistics with `netstat -i' on both machines,

netstat -p ip

look for fragments received vs fragments dropped (especially those
dropped after timeout).

It is quite possible that your NIC has insufficient buffering and
is simply dropping from back-to-back line-rate bursts destined for it.
This is likely the case if fragments dropped due to timeout is non-zero.

If so, either reduce the readsize (client) or writesize (server)
to 1024, or much better still, use NFS over TCP (but you probably
want to set the client advertised MSS to 1460) and don't fiddle
with the read/write sizes.
