Also, how are your netstat -i counters doing? I had a problem with reliable full-duplex vs. half-duplex detection, and am actually getting better overall throughput via half-duplex. The system just feels faster, although some of the benchmark numbers drop.
Is the filer doing anything besides news? I find that even with my 630, cache ages are only in the few minutes range, if you're using it for a variety of services, it may be unable to cache effectively.

And how much ram was enough?
Im using v2/udp nfs and have disabled v3 tcp but the performance on large files stinks. Are you using a solaris machine? Im wondering if its a OS specific problem or a Netapp config problem. Everything so far points at the 630.

Yes, I am, works fabulous once I got enough RAM in that baby.
I find best results with v2/UDP NFS, and disable v3 and TCP mounts completely.
Also, trim your misc.jobs.offered, and control directories regularly, large dirs still kill the Netapp until they get their Btree directory implementation running.
