Gabriel makes a really good point, namely that Linux's nfs
implementation compares poorly with others.  (In my case, it
compares poorly with Sun's nfs.  In addition, Linux nfs doesn't
seem to play well with others, like some versions of FreeBSD
nfs.)

Why is it bad?  Why hasn't it gotten much better?  Is AFS a solution?
