  The server-side is ok. The real issue is when OpenBSD is the NFS client.
  
  I have an app that reads tons of small files (not in large dirs, and names
are known in advance) through NFS. OpenBSD is just about 50 (!) times slower
than Linux and Dragonfly on similar hardware, even with Pedro's patches.
NICs are em(4).
  Also, when using tcp instead of udp, the host freezes after a few minutes
(OpenBSD -current, but it did the same a while back with 3.5-current).
  I once tried to change vfs.nfs.iothreads and the result was unkillable
processes.
