nfs4 is slow, but nfs3 behaves well!

here: http://www.mobiphil.com/?p=33 I was writing about my bad experience with nfs4. Switched back to 3, and things work just NICE…
nfs4 is very slow
August 10th, 2008
After months of fight and frustration with nfs4 on Ubuntu, I switched to nfs3. And finally I can see the light at the end of the tunnel! As I was describing here, I made some measurement about copy speed of small files towards nfs server and back. Copying to the server was almost 10 times slower with nfs4 than copying from the server (same harddisk type both on server and client).
Now with nfs3 the speeds are the same in both directions!!!
