What kind of hardware were you using?  2.5MB/sec NFS sounds abysmal. 
You should be able to saturate a 100mbit link with anything made in the
last 5 years.  The slowest machine I have it a P6/200 with FreeBSD 4.1
and this disk:

ad0: 3067MB <QUANTUM FIREBALL_TM3200A> [6232/16/63] at ata0-master using WDMA2

, which does 7MB/sec raw, can feed a NFS client doing a file read at
5MB/sec.
