Thanks. This fixes it. 16 simultaneous tar cf /dev/null /usr/obj on three 
separate NFS clients:

Server:
      Clients    OpenOwner        Opens    LockOwner        Locks       
Delegs
            3           48           54            0            0           
 0
      Layouts
            0

The load on the NFS server is ~ 0.5 to 2 on a four core machine with CPU 
sys busy between 2% and 30%. Prior to this CPU sys was pegged at close to 
100% with a load of 18. The regression has been resolved. Thanks.
