we're conducting SPEC SFS97 benchmark runs 
to evaluate Linux performance as NFS file servers. 
It is observed that an unusual high percentage of 
benchmark time was spent in "read" operation. 
A sampled workload consisting of 18% of read 
consumes 63% of total benchmark time. Did this 
problem get analyzed before (or even better :)- 
is there a patch) ? We're on 2.4.19 kernel- NFS 
V3 - UDP, with EXT3 as local file system. 

Thanks in advance.
