You are indeed correct, the speed of the USB drive appears to be the
issue rather than the speed of the NFS share.<br>
<br>
Copying a 250MB file takes nearly 8 minutes... very poor...<br>
<br>
I've had a quick google which seems to suggest this issue has been
around since 8.04.<br>
The suggested remedies do not seem to work however (adding grub
options of pci=routeirq or pci=apci, yes I did update grub).<br>
<br>
Watching 'top' on another SSH session during the copy shows that the
CPU use is around 5%, but the one minute load average is nearly 3,
which I really don't understand...<br>
<br>
And this new server was going so well :(<br>

the USB drive against a share on the internal disk (assuming you
still have the USB drive attached). Also make sure that DNS is
resolving correctly and that the Eee knows about the client end.
Also check the speed of your network interfaces.
