Possible NFS alternative - AFS ?

[Stefan Sonnenberg-Carstens <ssc_(_at_)_coolspot_(_dot_)_de>]

Hi list,
I'm not quite happy with my NFS server.
It serves many webservers and sometimes
it takes ages for re-newed files to show up
on the websites.
I tweaked client and servers much, as
I did with networks and different OS's.
I read about AFS, and OpenBSD ships
a server and/or client.
Now I want to know if anybody of you has
some *valueable* knowledge about

1. performance
2. usage

and if it is at all an alternative to NFS or
a complete different story.

Thx in advance,
Stefan
