Having the system do less work would naturally make it more responsive, so this is logical. This doesn't mean it's faster, obviously -- and note that while 3-4 at the same time may not be noticeably bogging down the local system, since the I/O grunt work is handled by the NFS server, it's possible that it's entirely saturated. > Also, just to point out: > df/ls/du/find/etc on the external machine (where the NFS is) take hours > (!), > so maybe it's not the NFS itself but the directory/file structure.
