Thank you all for responding. I want to apologize to Arnt
Gulbrandsen for quoting him out of context; I did not realize that his
message was not being sent to linux-net.

I'll take your collective advice that the NetSpam(tm) method of
unrolling large I/O into multiple large NFS requests at once doesn't
really work well over UDP. It seems like a potentially good idea for
TCP, so I'll merge it into what I'd like to work on next, which is:
NFS version 3 and NFS over TCP.

Are there any resources for NFS version 3 that I should look at other
than rfc1813 (e.g. a reference implementation or input to rpcgen)?
Who else is (or wishes they were) working on these?
