- write works terribly. it performs sync on every write IMHO,

You don't mention which NFS server or NFS version you are using but
for "traditional" NFS, this is by design.  The NFS server is stateless
and NFS server failures are transparent (other than time-wise) to the
client.  This means that once the server acknowledges a write, it
guarantees the client will be able to later retrieve that data, even
if the server crashes.  This implies that the server needs to do a
synchronous write to disk before it can return the acknowledgement
back to the client.
