NFS, Why so slow?

I did not say that at all (look ^). In fact, I said what type of wifi
I am using in the same sentence as the problem. I have no clue what is
causing the problem. That is why I asked. It could be the NFS or it
could be the wifi or maybe something else?

OK. But I still don't know how to fix it or to compare it for that
mater. I know my Internet should be slow because it is a slow DLS
connection to the WWW. I have no clue what else to compare it with.
