Sorry, I should have been more explicit.  I have wished for
something that would behave like "vmstat 5", ie. print nfsstat
statistics in some sort short hand fashion once every few
seconds, 5 in this example.

The problem has always been that there are too many operations
for summarize them on one line in any sort of interesting way.
This becomes particularly true for NFSv4 which has its multitude
of operations...

Perhaps we should just bite the bullet and produce the large
output, much like "iostat 5" seems to.

    Thanx...

       ps
