I've had many problems with NFS, but they were not performance related. Mostly FS hangs with some program waiting for IO that never comes.

This is the biggest issue I've had with NFS. If the mount goes stale, programs can get stuck in an uninterruptable state that takes a reboot to clear out.

Just mount the file system with "soft,intr" options and you won't have that problem. Otherwise NFS is (perhaps unrealistically) optimistic that the server will come back.
