Just a curiosity. I just ran mkisofs on a partition mounted over
NFS using TCP. Since my kernel logs dup traffic per connection, on
the server I noticed this:

    ==  dup:rx 136:47615878 dup:tx 37052:615632570
    ==  	131.114.9.236:2049 131.114.83.21:1025

i.e. 587MB out, 45MB in (this is TCP payload, excluding headers). Kind
of surprising that 8% of input data, considering that the partition is
readonly!

There seems to be an explaination -- many files in that partition were
small ones.
