OK, I was told that the intr (or soft) option helps. Yes, it does. Thanks
for poiting this out.

Postings indicated that recent work on the NFS client/server helped both
problems. (At least my impression that it's being worked on was correct.)

Thanks for all your suggestions!

I.e. the quality is too high and the speed is too high, in other words, I can implement this XXXX feature, but I bet someone else has already done it and is just about to release his patch to Linus soon...
