That's the $1000 question I guess :)

I didn't set it, that's for sure :) I got the option lines from
/proc/mounts, if there is any way I can get more/other information
please advise.
2.6.14.7:
rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,udp,lock,addr=...
2.6.15:
rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,lock,proto=udp,addr=...
Except for some formatting (proto=udp insted of udp) I fail to see any
difference.
The way I see it, it seems like caching on the client side fails
completely if the read requests are not aligned (to some
buffer/block/page/whatever).

The performance regression is present on 2.6.16.1 too.
Do you have a released kernel you can test with (2.6.1[56].*), or can I
somehow get the kernel you're testing with, just so that we test on the
same kernel?

I can't set 64k wsize:
puffin:~# mount -o rw,wsize=65536,udp sparrow:/exported/joe /mnt
puffin:~# cat /proc/mounts
...
sparrow:/exported/joe /mnt nfs rw,v3,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,hard,intr,lock,proto=udp,addr=sparrow 0 0
puffin:~#
Server is running a patched 2.6.11.11 kernel - could that be what's
preventing me from 64k wsize?
What happens if you run with 32k rsize/wsize?
