NFS performance

[Markus Klaschka]

That's interesting cause heavy reading from NFS brought me a loadavg of 
70 and more if there were a lot of small files to read.
I thought this is a normal issue about NFS...
By the way, are all Realtek Cards for the bin or only the 8139...the 
server has a 'RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter'
I mean, you all know this, if not read the comments in that file ;)

    root at kalium:~ > grep worst /usr/src/sys/pci/if_rl.c
    * probably the worst PCI ethernet controller ever made, with the
    possible

What could be configured wrong?
What's the best way to test bandwidth if I only got one well connected 
server? pathchar?

Cheers
Markus
