     No, you asserted that NFS was the slowdown.  I was asking if it was NFS 
that was slow or something else and NFS is just what you're focusing on.]

     Which is not comparing it to anything.  To determine that NFS is causing 
the slowdown you would have to compare it against a non-NFS operation which 
shows dramatically faster speeds over the same link.  Remember, NFS is going 
over the wireless connection.  If that wireless connection is not getting 
optimal speeds everything over it will be slow.  That would not be the fault 
of NFS.
