What do yo mean by 'the NFS performance is pretty poor'? I am running
Redhat 8.0 with the kernel upgraded to 2.4.20 + XFS 1.2 and I am happy
with the NFS performance.  I would like it to be better, but I am not
blaming XFS for the performance issue.  My NFS performance is
50% of the underlying disk speed.  I run with NFS v3, UDP, 8k rsize and
wsize.  The performance of XFS is better than EXT3 for my tests.  
I usually use multiple instances of dd from multiple nodes.  I care
about big files not small files.  The small file performance and
interactivity is satisfactory though.

What are you getting and what do you expect?
