Try to tune your NFS mounts in Linux, make sure they are trying TCP
and up the read/write size, check Linux's NFS tuning paramters 
(it's probably in some non-obvious place in /proc)

Also you can play with the FreeBSD NFS options mainly by tweaking
them via 'sysctl'

man sysctl
sysctl -a | grep nfs

good luck,
