Could you propose this as a guideline or possible risk that all packagers should look at when packaging?

When /home is NFS-mounted this causes for unnecessary network load and processing power which slows down the local network and the application. When these applications are aware that their cache directory is in an NFS-mounted location, the could (or perhaps should) store their volatile but intensively accessed cache files in /tmp. (Of course with the proper accessing rights.) This features should be implemented in the applications themselves. These will have to be identified first. Perhaps also the system has to have to information that it is desirable that in case /home is NSF- mounted, that these applications store their volatile but intensively accessed cache files in /tmp. Or the system can confirm that all should be in /home no matter if it is NFS-mounted of not. Implementing this feature will allow for less network traffic, less processing power begin consumed which will result in higher user satisfaction and less wasting of energy.
