Thanks for the suggestion. 2.2.10 also has better nfs client performance -- I just tried it after a few hassles building a .deb to get dhcp-client-beta to work on a slink system with the 2.2.10 kernel.
user time ____real time____ both kernels 2.0.36 2.2.10 compile/link 6 sec 30 sec 7 sec many files read from nfs server all writes local NFS write performance from linux to the hp server is still bad. I may try the 2.2.10ac1 patch and see if that helps things. I think Alan was working on a write-gathering patch for NFS. I hope you don't mind me replying to the list. I wanted to post a resolution of my problem there for anyone searching the archives for a similar problem. I'm still not on the list, so if you have questions write me directly.
