Start with the numbers... In addition to CPU, what is the I/O rate and other performance indicators? How many clients are attempting to talk to the NFS? What is your IP traffic load like? How many hops are the clients away from the NFS server? What processes are causing the consumption of the CPU? How much memory does the image have? Is it swapping? Is z/VM paging? How are other images on the same z/VM performing?
