You've included bordering on zero details on what your ethernet/nfs setup
looks like...

what kind of cards do you have?  how much packet RAM do they have?
what options are being used to your NFS mount?
please don't send bug reports without data about your setup!


It sounds to _me_ like your client is choking on back-to-back packets.
