Which is not that surprising: NFS has gotten a _lot_ of attention in the caching area (I worked on it myself a couple of years back when the page cache transition happened during 2.3.x, but happily we've had very good NFS maintainership since, so I don't get involved any more). Your numbers show that NFS is fine (my "benchmark" is that I refuse to see the kinds of commit times that "cvs commit" does - easily several minutes for a big project. If it goes over 2 seconds, it's painful, and over ten seconds is totally unacceptable). Your numbers seem to say that at least with a good network/server, NFS on Linux is not a problem at all. CIFS is likely a very different animal. I suspect the cifs people have spent a whole lot more effort on strange Windows interaction issues than on trying to make sure that cached performance is top-notch. Linus
