Same here. NFSv4 mounted home dirs (from a Ubuntu 12.04 LTS NFSv4 server) become very slow. Eventually the client machine freezes completely -> reset button. Using Opensuse 12.2 as NFSv4 client produces no problems at all. This is reproducable.
Same on some of our servers with NFSv4 mounted directories. All Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, NFSv4 servers and clients.

(It's just a test system). This is reproducable. Needless to say, that this disqualifies Ubuntu 12.04 LTS as an NFS client.
