The intent was to allow the server to be able to buffer up more 
uncommitted data before the client system requested that it be 
committed to store.  In this case, if the server spontaneously 
rebooted, the client is responsible for remembering the uncomitted 
data that it already sent so that it can send it again.  This means 
that client behavior has quite a lot to do with perceived NFSv3 
performance.
