I wouldn't say that it compares VERY poorly. The 2.0 kernel is a lot
faster than it used to be. The 2.2 kernel will be faster yet, probably as
good as anybody else. Right at the moment I would probably say that
FreeBSD has a slight performance edge, but really ALL NFS clients are
pretty inferior when compared to Sun's. So don't avoid Linux just for the
NFS performance. Linux has a history of catching up pretty fast whenever
it lags behind in just about any area. :)
