As JABR points out, that's really a misconception.  It depends a great
deal on all the hardware involved.  Now, these days, it's actually
hard to buy a disk that won't give you more than 8MB/s sustained
transfer rate (which is roughly what you could expect over 100Mb
network).  But Gigabit networks are common now, and if your NFS server is
built for it (i.e. it isn't just yet another desktop with a single
local disk) you should easily be able to far exceed the performance
of a workstation's cheap local disk.
