I'm assuming that's WebDAV. How's the performance? One of the nice
things about NFS is how little overhead it uses. How well does WebDAV
handle being mapped by many client machines (performance- and
clobbering-wise)?

It's WebDAV but using SSL so that it's secure. As far as users go, it
depends on the system. It's handled by the webserver since WebDAV is an
extension to HTTP (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebDAV). We have it setup
for our department (Physics & Astronomy) with about 500 users. Granted, not
that many are accessing it that much at a time, but it's never been a
problem.
I've actually mounted the WedDAV "Share" on my computer at home (WyView) and
did an install from it. It went pretty well actually.
