Hi, > After chaining the translators: Another problem is that "normal" operations like un-tarring a file are taking ridiculously long. Here's the NFS performance with the 256k rsize/wsize mount: % ( cd /mnt/eon0/tmp ; time tar jxf Python-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ; cd ) & 6.694u 3.538s 0:17.78 57.4% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w ~17 seconds % ( cd /export/glfs/tmp ; time tar jxf Python-2.5.2.tar.bz2 ; cd ) & 6.544u 1.029s 1:44.44 7.2% 0+0k 0+0io 0pf+0w ~104 seconds ?
