I've been having the same problems.
It only affects the older MVPs and came in when the kernel was upgraded.
2048 gave me the best throughput but it was still well down on the
older kernel and still resulted in stuttering.
I'm also on the myth protocol now, but that's 99% of what I use
so missing NFS hasn't hurt me too much at this point.
Hmmm perhaps you could try vlc as a workaround?

I've been having sporadic problems with mvpmc skipping and stuttering

I've found that the maximum throughput for NFS mounted volumes
dropped significantly for me, from about 13mb/s to 8.5mb/s, when
updating from v0.3.0 to 0.3.1. Upgrading to 0.3.2 and then 0.3.3
didn't improve performance any.
Unfortunately, I also updated MythTV from 0.19 to 0.20 when 0.3.1
came out, so I can't go back.
I've been using the nfsmount.sh script to mount my nfs volumes, but
tried manually setting the rsize to 1024, 2048, or 4096 without any
improvement. I've also tried the --rtwin 4096 flag on the mvpmc
executable without any improvement.
I've got tons of DVD's ripped to mpeg2 streams with mp2 audio that
used to play flawlessly. When I watch the buffers during playback, I
see them empty very quickly, and never seem to fill back up, even
when the throughput drops well below 8.5mb/s.
MythTV streams seem to be OK if I use the myth protocol, but mounting
the recordings directory via NFS runs into the same problem.
Are there any other things I can try adjusting to get a speed boost?
Is 8.5mb/s typical with the current version of mvpmc?
