I was doing some testing with an NFS partition on a Free BSD 2.2.2 
Server, and I found that on the average file transfer rates were 
approximately 100 times slower using PC-NFS vs FTP file transfer rates.  
Does this seem reasonable?  The PC-NFS application is called ICE-NFS,  
and it was running on a windows 95 workstation.  If these calculations 
are correct, for what applications would a user apply an NFS filesystem.
