With some NFS servers, a smaller rsize/wsize is better. (8192 or 16384)
but that is the point of tuning I suppose.

I've tried r/w sizes from 8k to auto (that is 104k for Solaris server and 32k for FreeBSD server)... there are minor changes in max speed (let's say it ranges from 70 to 80 MB/s). 

hubs/switches, wires and the network cards themselves all can impact
performance - it's not necessarily CentOS itself.

Well, as long as Gentoo linux and FreeBSD clients show ~100 MB/s... BTW I'm using 

2.6.18-92.1.18.el5.centos.plus

kernel on x86_64 hardware... I need to use CentOS (I migrated from Gentoo for sake of simplicity) but this NFS issue really... well, it is not a good thing :-)
