Which version of CentOS are you using? The upstream kernels have had
issues at different points with NFS performance (the 2.6.18 had a
bunch of problems that were fixed in 2.6.20-22 time frame and have had
to be backported.. then there were changes and breakage somewhere
after that.. ) I normally try a set of comparisons:
1) What does CentOS-4 do? What does CentOS-5 do? 4 may actually be
faster than 5 in some cases due to switch/card issues.
2) Then there are issues with TCP, size of frames, etc...
