Thank you, Tim. We finally figured out the issue; NFS "noac" option was killing performance.
(vers=4.0,rsize=65536,wsize=65536,namlen=255,hard,noac,proto=tcp,port=0,timeo=20,retrans=2) We joked about it afterwards, no "air conditioning" after a long summer can kill anything :-) Thanks again for your insight and pointers, will come in handy! -- Sent from: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-User-f2341805.html
