Here, using autofs (client : 2.2.2-ac7, server : 2.0.32/unfsd),
I have :

[pcodile]/alienor/home/danis/tmp > time cp /tmp/linux-2.2.2.tar.gz .
0.00user 1.77system 0:03.20elapsed 55%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 0maxresident)k
0inputs+0outputs (3322major+14minor)pagefaults 0swaps

That is, 3 secondes to copy a 12M files over a 100Mb link
using an 'old' userland nfs server.


The mount options is :

alienor:/home on /alienor/home type nfs (rw,nolock,soft,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,addr=<something>)
