Perhaps file creation is a slow operation over nfs :-?

EVERYTHING is slower over NFS -- or any other network
connection -- by a factor of 100 or more.
Yes, and, NFS typically does not work very well across a wan.

Isn't NFS a udp stateless connection that does not guarantee ordering of
packets? Seems to me that if the connection is over a wan NFS is very slow or
maybe even non functioning because of packet delays and ordering problems do
to wan timing and routing. Does NFS work with tcp these days?
