You didn't mention the type of disks and controllers you're using, it
makes a very important difference. Typically in VM environment RAID-6
on 7200RPM drives behaves quite poorly because of very poor random IO
write performance.
You should also look at the iostat -mx output on the NFS server.
You'll probably see a 100% disk usage with lots of small read and write
IOs.
