As others have noted:

  1. Use UDP instead of TCP for performance but recognize that
     there is no security in this route and thus it is critical
     that NFS be used only on a private network with a *good*
     firewall in front.

  2. It appears that there is a memory problem, though if you're
     swapping across the network ...

Try mounting with the following options:

  async
  rsize=8192,wsize=8192
  udp
  timeout=x (try x of 100)

I disagree with the other poster that a small rsize and wsize will
improve the situation.  My analysis shows just the opposite.
