Why is NFSv4 so slow?

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing similar issues with newnfs:

1) I have two clients that each get around 0.5MiB/s to 2.6MiB/s reading 
from the NFS4-share on Gbit-Lan

2) Mounting with -t newnfs -o nfsv3 results in no performance gain 
whatsoever.

3) Mounting with -t nfs results in 58MiB/s ! (Netcat has similar 
performance) → not a hardware/driver issue from my pov

Is there anything I can do to help fix this?

Thank you,
