Start by reading nfsv4(4).

There are also threads about people seeing immensely decreased
performance with NFSv4.  Not sure if Rick has had the time to fully
rectify this (don't let the Subject line fool you):

You can also Google for "nfsv4 freebsd performance" and take in what you
can, but remember, YMMV.  You should always test in your own
environments, as pretty much everyone's equipment and setups are
different.
