There are lots of people who would like to use NFS on their company WAN, where you typically have high bandwidths (up to 10GigE), but often a high latency too (due to geographical dispersion). My ping latency from here to a typical server in NetApp's Bangalore office is ~ 312ms. I read your test results with 10ms delays, but have you tested with higher than that?
