NFS read-ahead?

Hello.
I'm using an app that reads big files in small chunks. When using NFS 
this takes a huge amount of time, while I see user cpu roughly at 50% 
and system CPU again at roughly 50%.
I suspect NFS is sending packets for each read (even 1 bytes) and this 
might generate a big overhead.
Is it (or might it be so)?
If yes, is there a way to set it up to perform some read-ahead?

  bye & Thanks
	av.
