It may be that some recent additions to the HAL files have eaten up some additional resources, leaving the machine starved. Of course, how big are these files? If they are several MB, this might not be a surprise. If they are several hundred lines of G-code, then something is seriously wrong. Checking the difference in time between NFS and local storage would of course tell you something. It could just be a network problem of some sort, and have nothing at all to do with EMC or local resources. If file transfers are slow with EMC not running, that would point to the network. You can always check that the EMC machine is actually running a 100 MBit network. Sometimes, due to bad network cables or just some crazy intermittent hiccup, a machine will negotiate to 10 MBit at the time the network driver boots up and just stay there until a reboot.
