I've tried out the 9.0 release candidates, and what I notice is that for
a few minutes after the system starts, I get wonderful NFS read
throughput (7+ MB/s over a 100 megabit interface) -- more than twice as
fast as 7.n or 8.n on the same hardware -- quickly degrading to abysmal
(less than 0.5 MB/s).  Is this possibly related to the problem under
discussion?                                          -- George Mitchell

P.S. A lot of other 9.0 features look very nice indeed!
