Hi Ben, hi Trond,

though number of RPC call between dtsize 1048576 and 32768
is x3 less, the time it takes almost the same. According to
your results, at some point (<= 32K) a bigger dtsize makes
no difference. As the original dtsize is 32K 
(#define NFS_MAX_READDIR_PAGES 8), it looks like that the
performance enhancements mostly contributed by a change
not related to the buffer size.

On another, the number of RPC calls with v3-patch-set drops
by x40. What ever Trond have changed there has a big impact!

Thanks a lot for your efforts,
   Tigran.
