2. Optimized settings, for > 800MiB/:

blockdev --setra 16384 /dev/sda
# not sure if this helps much
ethtool -K eth0 lro on
# seems to get performance > 600-700MiB/s faster

# the main option that makes all of the difference, the golden option
# is the rszie and wsize of 1megabyte below:
10.0.1.4:/r1 /nfs/box2/r1 nfs tcp,bg,rw,hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=3,rsize=1048576,wsize=1048576 0 0
CPU utilization:

With a single copy I get roughly 700-800MiB/s:

Using a 4MiB r/w size with NFS improves performance to sustain > 750MiB/s
a little better I think:
10.0.1.4:/r1 /nfs/box2/r1 nfs tcp,bg,rw,hard,intr,nolock,nfsvers=3,rsize=4194304,wsize=4194304 0
Anyhow, roughly 750-850MiB/s it would be nice to get 1Gbyte/sec but I guess
the kerrnel (or my HW, CPU not fast enough) is not there yet.
Also found a good doc from RedHat:
