VERY slow NFS FC2 -> RH9

[Gregory Gulik]

I recently noticed that NFS between my FC2 client and a RH9 server is 
horribly slow.

For example, copying an 11MB file from the FC2 client to my RH9 server 
took 1 minute 15 seconds!!!!

The NFS mount is mounted with the automounter with options 
"hard,intr,sync".  The file system was already mounted before I timed 
the copy so the automounter isn't the one getting in the way.

The load averages were low.  The server is 0.50 and the client is 0.46. 
  The client is an Athlon 2500+ and the server is a Xeon 2.4Ghz with HT 
on.  The network is all 100Mbit switched with minimal other traffic on 
the network.

Any ideas before I waste the next couple hours with tcpdump???
