Consider I have a large file on my nfs server. The server and my desktop is connected by 100mbps network. If I mount a directory on my desktop and then try to copy a big file to local fs I have speed about 3.5MB/s. But if I try to tranfer the same file using wget (nginx on server side) I have about 6.1MB/s.
Why it is so? Why nfs preformance is so bad? And the most important, how to improve this one.
I have linaro (ubuntu clone for arm systems) on server and opensuse 11.4 on client, nfs is version 4.

while doing a NFS trasfer; notice any spikes in CPU or Memory usage? – Chris S Mar 26 '12 at 0:36
