All lock requests go through lockd when NFS is running.  We realize that
lockd requests are "slow", and that they take up alot of CPU time.  We
are currently developing a new Network Lock Manager for NFS, which will
be included in ODT 1.2, and which will be available as a (S)upport
(L)evel (S)upplement (SLS) in the next two months.
