NFS server:

IP 192.168.0.40

/etc/rc.conf file has:
rpcbind=yes
mountd=yes
nfs_server=yes
lockd=yes
statd=yes

/etc/exports file has:
/opt -alldirs -maproot=root 192.168.0.41


NFS client:

IP 192.168.0.41

/etc/rc.conf file has:
rpcbind=yes
nfs_client=yes
lockd=yes
statd=yes

/etc/fstab has:
192.168.0.40:/opt/pkgsrc  /opt/pkgsrc  nfs  rw,noauto,intr,soft,tcp


The client can mount NFS directories under /opt, but accessing files there is 
painfully slow. I just can't figure out what is wrong...
