Hi folks, I did a brief test on a local nfs server: Extracting the linux kernel sources on a nfs partition it seems that nfs3 is 30% faster than nfs4. For nfs3 I got 5.2MB/sec. Nfs4 gave me just 3.8MB/sec. The server was idle except for this test. Client and server were running 2.6.39 from the Debian backports repository. I just changed the mount option on the client to select nfs3 or nfs4. I don't want to complain, but I did not expect this huge loss in performance for moving to nfs4. Any helpful comment would be highly appreciated.
