  I was having similar problems on some servers using 6.2-psomething,
which also use an NFS server heavily (for shared configuration files),
until I started using the same vmem.kmem_size tunable Kris is
recommending.

  That seemed to solve the problem for me.  (I just slapped it up to
512M rather than try to binary search for some optimum value.)
