what are your mount flags?  have you tried NFS over tcp? (i'm unsure if
this is the default, but it sure helped me when i explicitly enabled it)

xxx:/com     /com  nfs   -a4,rw,tcp,bg,nfsv3,-r32768,-w32768,intr 0 0

i get 9+meg/sec over 100mit ethernet with these mount options

(from rc.local)

echo -n 'enabling NFSv3 scatter/gather: '
sysctl -w vfs.nfs.gatherdelay_v3=10000

echo -n 'enabling NFS async behavior: '
sysctl -w vfs.nfs.async=1

# END NFS
