This was what I asked in my first message to their mailing list,
https://lists.zytor.com/archives/klibc/2019-September/004234.html

Then I realized that timeo=600 just hides the real problem,
which is rsize=1M.

NFS defaults: timeo=600,rsize=1M => lag
nfsmount defaults: timeo=7,rsize=1MK => lag AND dmesg errors

My proposal: timeo=whatever,rsize=32K => all fine

If more benchmarks are needed from me to document the
"NFS defaults: timeo=600,rsize=1M => lag"
I can surely provide them.

Thanks,
Alkis
