Hmm.  The problem I observed with "poor performance", resulted in very
slow TCP (ftp mostly), and essentially broken NFS.  Switching the NFS
connections to TCP helped for a bit (I thought), but ended up failing in
the same manner.  That your NFS is working makes me think it isn't the
NWAY negotiation necessarily.  Still, I would recommend forcing your
switch port 10Mb and see what kind of difference it makes.
