That's not beating the snot out of an F330. *This* is (see Apr/May timeframe):
MaxNFS Ops 1713.0 ops, AverageNFS Ops 1047.0 ops, CurrentNFS Ops 717.0 ops
Heck, that's nothing. A few years ago, I had a 330 doing >4000 nfs ops per second. Our salesman and field engineer were witnesses - they took a snapshot of the sysstat output and passed it around the office, since no one had ever seen a 330 stand up to that kind of load before.
I also had a 760 survive doing 17,000 nfs ops/second once. Our engineers are *really* good at beating up file servers - luckily, I got really good at beating up our engineers and our load levels are a bit more balanced now.
