NFS problems

[Karel Miklav]

I have a FreeBSD 5.3RC1 and Mandrake 10 Connected over NFS. Server is on 
Mandrake and FreeBSD is only client. Transfer rate for files is great, 
but scanning folders on the NFS mount is ubearably slow. CPU usage on 
both machines is close to 0%, on Mandrake I can see a nfsd daemon or two 
fired up from time to time, client is waiting in the loop. What could be 
wrong?
