I don't see a massive resource hog from NFS, but I don't use it for lots of clients - I've got ~1.5TB NFS shared for 3 clients to use, and the hosting box isn't even fazed. (Of course, it's an 8 core 16gb box...) There are processes running, but it doesn't seem like they take much time.

The question I have is does running NFS on the Redhat machine cause performance issues, i.e. more processes running, more memory etc. The reason for the question is so I can pick the correct machine to use. Also if anyone has any advice/documents or links on setting this up it would be much appreciated.
