doh! sorry for the last post, I sent it from the wrong address, I was checking the support email at the same time..
Anyway, I have done a bit more investigation, and it seems that I only get the slowdown if I write TO the nfs server from the client, As I copied some large binaries across to the nfs share and they took around 30 mins, I then copied them back locally and it took 6 mins. Am I correct in that I may have to alter the rsize? on the client end, or is there a configuration on the server side I can do, but it would seem very client orientated.
