I was also bit by this issue after a recent migration. The default in
CentOS 6 is 8, which was too small even for my group, which has only 10
or so NFS clients, and only a handful active at any one time.
It is easy to change the number of nfsd kernel threads on the fly: just
do
rpc.nfsd NN
where NN is the number of threads you want. The kernel will adjust the
number of running threads on the fly. If that solves your performance
issue, then you can adjust RPCNFSDCOUNT accordingly.
