Start by reading nfsv4(4).

There are also threads about people seeing immensely decreased
performance with NFSv4.  Not sure if Rick has had the time to fully

You can also Google for "nfsv4 freebsd performance" and take in what you

environments, as pretty much everyone's equipment and setups are
different.
