I'm setting up an NFS server to be used for compiling, and it seems that while speeds are acceptable for large files, small files take much longer than expected. Copying 10000 16K files (in a directory) takes 54seconds, while copying a 170M single file takes 5s. Are there any tricks for speeding up small file performance? I'm willing to give up large file performance. /etc/sysctl.conf: vfs.vmiodirenable=1 kern.ipc.somaxconn=2048 kern.maxfiles=65536 net.isr.enable=1 /boot/loader.conf: kern.ipc.nmbclusters=32768 Kernel Conf: include GENERIC ident NFS options DEVICE_POLLING options HZ=1000
