I don't know what or why, but I am experiancing a nightmare with interactivity and heavy nfs use. I am using Gentoo, and I have my portage tree exported from a central server. Trying to do an emerge update world is taking forever.
During the time it is scanning the portage tree it takes 2 - 3 minutes to load Firefox. It also took almost 5 minuts to load GAIM. Once GAIM loaded, none of the screens would paint. I halted the emerge and instantly Gaim painted and all the web pages I was waiting for in firefox finished. So I unleashed emerge again, and tried to load more local-only apps. Same problem. Horrible delays. Halt emerge, and boom, everything snappy and fast.
So, as long as I don't use NFS, this is spectacular, but NFS access is murdering me.
In any case, I would take from recommendations. For testing, etc. I am on the list, but if there is testing, please CC my address.
