Typical wizdom is to watch how busy they are.  In a typical unloaded
nfs scheme, you'll see that one process has all the time, and the
remaining processes have little or none.  As more of your NFS
processes are charged for time, you may want to increase the number
you run.  FreeBSD seems to run more client daemons dynamically, so you
only need to worry about the number of server daemons you run.
