I've eliminated the switch-to-switch link from the mix. I just 
installed RHEL4U6 on one of the servers in the server room. The save 
time for an 8MB file is over 2 minutes where the save time on an 
adjacent server is under 2 seconds. (clock time). The NFS server and 
the 2 clients are sittinng next to eachother and are connected to the 
same switch. I have not had a time to read Mat's message yet, and I 
have a conference call in 5 minutes.
