NFS is a problem with Yeller Dog

All,

So far so good. I set up my Yellow Dog machine as a client on an NFS
network but I've bumped into two issues:

1) It is ...slloowwwwwwwww. Copying files over NFS is slow and the
initial mount is VERY slow, requiring several minutes just to mount the
NFS file systems. That doesn't seem reasonable.

2) I can't move files onto an NFS mounted file system as root, only as the
owner of the NFS mount. If the owner on the server is root, then I can't
write to the file system, so I have to chown and chgrp the files on the
server to normal users and then interact with them on the client as those
users.

Any way to alleviate these issues? I'm using no_sqaush and rw on the
server exports file.
