:I'm nothing like an NFS expert, so I may be talking through my hat,
:but...  I presume NFS correctly supports O_APPEND semantics for
:multiple clients (as seen from the server).  In this case, the
:optimization only works when there's only one client machine (though
:possibly multiple processes on that machine) is using write+O_APPEND.

    I don't this was ever supported or ever will be in the multiple-client
    case.  Maybe eventually with the leasing stuff.  Otherwise, no way.  The
    stateless nature of NFS makes it virtually impossible.
