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>)
