First do you have example speeds?
What does /proc/mount say?
Nothing here: cat /proc/mount No such file or directory
What does "mii-tool eth0" or "ethtool eth0" say? Are you dropping packets? (ifconfig and ping )
root # mii-tool
eth0: negotiated 100baseTx-HD, link ok
eth1: no link
==================================
root # ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
Supported ports: [ TP MII ]
Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes
Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes
Speed: 100Mb/s
Duplex: Half
Port: Twisted Pair
PHYAD: 1
Transceiver: internal
Auto-negotiation: on
Supports Wake-on: puag
Wake-on: g
Link detected: yes
ifconfig reading taken during write across nfs:
root # ifconfig eth0
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:47:FA:4B:13 inet addr:192.168.0.4 Bcast:192.168.0.255 Mask:255.255.255.0

To my inexperienced eye those look normal.. are they?
The errors are not normal, but there are not very many of them. Certainly not enough examplain your nfs speed. Try switching to tcp v3 mount, and seeing if that improves things. "man mount"
