Is it possible to install a Gigabit adapter in the *BSD box and filer? That alone will probably give you a good performance boost... Switching to udp probably won't improve things, but using Gbe and jumbo frames will do wonders.
I'd consider that, however I'm having a hard time believing that a PC a *stinkeen* plain-ol-IDE drive is doing better than my filer.
I can blame (in order of cost of upgrade):
- a configuration mistake - mount options - filer options - network hardware - nfs - pc hardware - postgresql
and I'm slowly working my way down that list...(grin)
I suspect that folks running Oracle/Informix with a filer aren't seeing more than a 10% performance reduction, otherwise very few would opt to do it, so I suspect that it works, it works well and I must be missing something...
