--- Comment #41 from David O'Rourke <dor.bsd@xm0.uk> ---
Hi,

Just noticed really bad NFS client performance on em0 on my 13.0-RELEASE-p4
server recently. It's likely been broken for a long time, but I don't use the
NFS client functionality much (I haven't needed to read/write something over it
in a few years, previously it worked perfectly).  I noticed it because that was
about to change, and the NFS client was going to become more important.

I can't get more than about 180KiB/s over NFS at the moment. I haven't tried
the intel-em-kmod drivers yet, but I probably will tomorrow (it's late here at
the moment).

The remote NFS server is fine and performs as it should, it can kick out around
1Gbit/s to other (non-FreeBSD) machines no problem.

It should also be noted that in at least my case, the NFS server on this
FreeBSD machine continues to work just fine, and I can read/write to it at the
speed of the network. The poor performance is strictly limited to just the
client.

I don't really have anything else to contribute, and added this information
just to check that someone knows that this is still a problem.

Cheers,
-David
