Weird... it sounds precisely like what made me switch my desktop PC
from Linux to FreeBSD... while running Linux, a compilation of gcc on
a remote filesystem was bringing an otherwise idle SS10/40 on its
knees, with its disk making a noise like a coffee grinding machine !
Are you sure you're not using some strange NFS r/w block size ? or
some especially poor net adapter ?
I have nothing but praises for FreeBSD's NFS code (both server and
client) and network layers, even on my not-too-fast 3C509 !
Have a good day,
_Alain_

I've RTFMed. It says: "Refer to your system administrator"
But... I *am* the system administrator :-]
