NFS requests are handed to the first available nfsd process. In your case,
it seems that requests are coming in at a low enough rate that most of them
can be handled by the same (the first) nfsd, because it's not busy.

I could change the code to put free nfsds at the back of the queue so that
nfsds are used round-robin if it makes you feel happy ;-)
