I don't know if this has anything to do with your situation, but the
fedora developers list has a thread entitled "Buyer Beware: A Major
Change in NFS is about to happen."

Disclaimer: I haven't read the thread. I am not using an NFS mount right
now.

I used an nfs mount a few years ago and it too mounted very slowly.  I
know I fixed it but I can't remember how.  Seems to me the mount process
(in fstab) could take an option which affected things. 

The other thing to look for is version issues between the client and the
host in nfs and the other protocols used to implement nfs.

Hope this helps.
