nfsd 4, why, and how to tune...

The metric I heard at a presentation about system tuning by a guy from
Sun at the Sun User Group meeting is that you want 2 nfsd's per
exported filesystem (or was it per disk drive).  My guess is that's 1
to handle the reads and 1 to handle the writes so that if you export
filesystems readonly you could drop the number of nfsd's.  Likewise if
any of the filesystems are accessed infrequently.
