    I am trying copy about 350Mb of files - each one about 2.8MB each - over an
    nfs link. Although I primarily trying this via drag and drop inside kde,
    command line copying is also not working

    With the sync option it is very slow - the dialog box can't report the copy
    rate and marks it as stalled. With the async option it goes fast until about
    30MB are copied and then comes to a complete halt.

    I was using the nfs-user daemon, but I have also switched over to the
    nfs-kernel one. Doesn't seem to make any difference.

    Just to show its not networking problems, I have resorted to copying the files
    via scp - even encrypted I am getting about 0.5Mb/sec

    Any idea whats wrong and how to improve performance?
