Here's what I understand:
The reason that Linux NFS performance is less than wonderful (or was less than
wonderful, assuming that has changed) was due to the buffering; namely, none
was done in order to ensure files had correct timestamps. AIXv 2.2.1 (which we
run on a bunch of eight-year-old IBM PC RTs we just got) has a biod- a block I/O
daemon- which I believe takes care of the I/O for NFS and takes care of this
problem.
