It looks like only the second nfsd has done any work (note the
0:00.22 time), so I don't think you need any more nfsds at the
moment. Keep an eye on their CPU usage and see how many of them are
actually getting used - that should give you a reasonable idea of
how many to run.

I've included the equivelent output from a busy NFS server we have
(up for 80 days). We could possibly do with 1 more nfsd on this
machine, but we're not seeing any performance problems.
