Before jumping to any conclusions - first try to eliminate nfs and do
readdirs locally - I guess that would be quite fast. Then check on a
client (dtrace) the time distribution of nfs requests and sends us
results.

You may also want to fiddle with async clusters on a nfs client to see
if it makes any difference.
