I'll try that right now, thanks!
Is there a way to change the rsize and wsize on the server end to force
the clients?

Brian,
I've got a couple of ideas. The first one, is to try to improve your
send and receive packet sizes. This usually defaults to 4K, but 8K
tends to have a dramatic improvement on performance, and users commonly
set it using the rsize and wsize options like so when mounting from the
client-side:
mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ...
If you have a more modern version of Linux at both ends, you can try
increasing the sizes even further.
Another possibility is to increase the size of the NFS memory buffers on
the server to say 256KB. On RHEL 4, the default is 128KB.
You can do this by using the following commands:
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_default
echo 262144 > /proc/sys/net/core/rmem_max
Thanks,
