Fsstat and Requests are increasing very rapidly.  Both the client and

Sort of. Some fancy parts of X like file-manager/exporer applications tend to call fstat() a lot, but it's probably tunable, and if you enable NFS attribute caching that will help a lot. "ls /afs", if available, is a wonderful test of whether a program/file-manager is being polite.

Anyway, "top -mio" is likely to be informative.
