[Bug 1270445] Re: slow NFS4 without "NEED_GSSD=yes"

[Turner]

I have this issue aswell running Xubuntu 14.04 i've tried all the above
solutions, and it hasn't had any positive effects here. Transfering
files to my NAS using NFS is still slow and spiky.

Title:
  slow NFS4 without "NEED_GSSD=yes"

Status in “nfs-utils” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu 14.04 NFS4 client has slow access to NFS - share, if standard
  in /etc/default/nfs-common is left as "NEED_GSSD=".

  In syslog message 
  [406568.806179] RPC: AUTH_GSS upcall timed out.  
  [406568.806179] Please check user daemon is running.
  can be found.

  If default is changed to "NEED_GSSD=yes" access speeds up to normal (= good as in 12.04).
  I do not use Kerberos, so to set this option to "yes" does not make sense.
