 hello,
 
 we had the same problem with 4.5R. The NFS server exports a 450 GB vinum=20
 RAID to other clients which usually do write access via NFS (read access is=
 =20
 local). When the filesystem has become more and more full (70% ...) one or=
 =20
 more nfsd's eat up the CPU when writing to the NFS server: After NFS=20
 writing of some megabytes (dirs, hundreds of files) via NFS, top shows nfsd=
 =20
 with >100% WCPU, system above 70% and a load average > 10 with very slow=20
 reactions of the machine (obviously). The usual load is somewhere between=20
 0.1 .. 2.0 resulting from some httpds.
 
 The high load went back to acceptable values when we disabled the=20
 softupdates for the exported filesystem: tunefs -n disable /dev/vinum/raid.
 
 If this is a bug or a feature: I don't know.
 
 Alexander
