The big one is a write RPC and it will be a little more than 32768, if
you've set wsize=32768.

This can't be a capture for the "nfsstat" numbers you emailed the last time.
(For one thing, that one didn't have any write RPCs counted.) Try and get
a capture for the case where there are few NFS RPCs. (Did you capture for
the first time doing the startup after doing a mount vs do an "nfsstat"
for a subsequent startup?) Or, is this client doing something else on the
network while the startup is happening?

I may take a look at it, to see if I can spot anything weird, but a capture
when it only does 88 RPCs is going to be much easier to look at.
