This is what I have in my nfs client fstab.  I came up with these
numbers in an attempt to get client NFS access speeds up to par with
SMB or CIFS connections:

nfsserver:/data  /data   nfs  fsv3,intr,rdirplus,-r=32768,-w=32768,rw

On the NFS server I have in my /etc/sysctl.conf:
vfs.nfs.async=1

Also make sure you have enough nfsiod running on the client to
service requests, and enough nfsd on the server to service the
clients.

YMMV,

Doug
