Are -r and -w really needed/useful for TCP mounts?

yes.


Really? Please explain then, because the mount_nfs man page contradicts this...

"Set the read data size to the specified value.  It should nor-
 mally be a power of 2 greater than or equal to 1024.  This should
 be used for UDP mounts when the ``fragments dropped due to
 timeout'' value is getting large while actively using a mountpoint."

and

"Set the write data size to the specified value. Ditto the comments w.r.t. the -r option, but using the ``fragments dropped due to timeout'' value on the server instead of the client. Note that both the -r and -w options should only be used as a last ditch effort at improving performance when mounting servers
 that do not support TCP mounts."
