For what it's worth,

I just did some informal tests with "tcpspray" (linux application
running binary-emulated on NetBSD 1.1B), and this is what I get
with the same hardware as you between two NetBSD hosts

(66)timpani:~>tcpspray -b 2000 -n 8000 lute

Transmitted 16000000 bytes in 4.211959 seconds (3709.675 kbytes/s)

Only (?) about 30 Mbps between two unloaded hosts (but running multi-user
on a network with some traffic, etc..)

Oh, and I don't think the Linux version I mentioned in my earlier 
message was one of the latest--a pretty late Linux 1.x kernel, I
would think.

Nevertheless, the performance is good enough that NFS is almost 
indistinguishable from local disks. Faster, in some cases, if one
is to trust iozone.
