        On second thought, it looks like 2.4.2 may also exhibit the
        same behaviro after a little while.  Now that the machine has
        been up for a half hour or so, NFS traffic has become slow on
        my 2.4.2 client again.  I am seeing messages like this in my
        kernel log:

Apr  3 15:01:54 hagrid kernel: nfs: server tela not responding, still trying
Apr  3 15:01:54 hagrid kernel: nfs: server tela OK

        The machines are *not* having any connectivity problems, at
        least judging from TCP sessions I have open between them.

        So it would seem that NFS performace degrades over a very
        short window in 2.4.2+.  It seems to fairly fly when the
        machine is freshly booted, but after 30 minutes or less, the
        performance is severely degraded.

        Is anyone using 2.4.2+ as a NFS server/client with success?
        Am I missing something?
