Yes.  I mount quite a few drives via NFS.  All my data is stored on mounted

Do  you think that could cause this?

That would be one possible source of the problem.  I'm not sure how you could test it.  I followed a discussion on LinuxQuestions.org which involved synced/shared homes and latency was an issue with hangups on shared drives.

There's the discussion.
