I did, had no answer by the moment.
I asked here because I thought that maybe there was some kind of issue 
fedora-related or maybe someone had the same problem here..

The mount parameters look the same according to /proc/mounts, at least 
regarding nfs. The rest of the kernel I don't know.

comparing to the 2,3 or even 6 minutes that I usually get from fedora 
while doing one single transfer...
The 40 seconds that it takes from RHEL6 during the start up of the 
second transfer looks ok to me...

Yes, in fact I was sure about this and to prove it (considering that hp 
only supports RH), I installed a machine with RHEL6 and did the same 
test with the results that I commented.

So did I, but my file was 36Gb, while doing several ls -l in the red 
hat, I could only do 2 or 3 petitions within the fedora because of the 
hangs ;(
Both tests were done at the same time and there is exactly the same 
network hardware in the middle of the two (1 switch and the network 
cards are 1gbit for both machines) and the copy time was also the same 
(6 minutes and some seconds).

In my case, the servers are RHEL5, one of the clients is fedora 14 and 
the other is RHEL6, all of them 64bit.
I also made some test using a fedora 10 server and a fedora 14 client 
and the times were also big, that's why I asked here.

Again, thanks for your help, it is really appreciated.
