I'm not sure what you are saying. Delegations are "per file". If you are
read/write sharing the same file across multiple clients then, yes,
delegations won't help your case.

Btw, if your disks are 100% busy, there isn't much you can do except 
spread the load across more drives on the NFS server, to get better NFS 
perf, imo.
