Just to throw my hat into the ring on this one... I've noticed the 'blocking' effect on our Adaptec controller too: it seems to occur when the process that is running requires/demands a full disk sync. Given the nature of our setup, with lots of systems running on UPSen, I'm happy to use 'async' for NFS, which obviously helps hugely.
