If you do a 'tcpdump' to watch the NFS transfer, what sorts of "spacing" 
do you see between packets?  Who is being "slow" to respond?  (e.g.
are there retransmits or delays in sending ACKs or anything)
You can likely use a ttcp transfer to guestimate what the traffic 
flow should look like... 

Also: is file transfer slow for both reads and writes, or just writes 
to the server?

Later...
