So go to your /etc/exports file and explicitly set the export option to "async" to see whether you can get the performance back.

While this may or may not restore your performance aspects, it
is not safe to make this change.  The change was made for a
reason.

Please any and all other possibilities before making this change.
It is not free.

    Thanx...
