Hello world,

I have a small file server running FreeBSD 2.1.0-RELEASE.
Some of the users were complaining about its performance,
so I looked around a little bit and stumbled over the
following:

  PID  TT  STAT      TIME COMMAND
   86  ??  IWs    0:00.03 nfsd-master (nfsd)
   89  ??  I     19:16.46 nfsd-srv (nfsd)
   90  ??  I      0:08.04 nfsd-srv (nfsd)
   91  ??  I      0:00.11 nfsd-srv (nfsd)
   92  ??  I      0:00.01 nfsd-srv (nfsd)

I thought the purpose of having four nfsd-srv processes
was to have the load distributed among them -- so why
isn't that the case (and what do I need to do in order
to distribute it more evenly)?

Any help and suggestions are appreciated.

Gerhard
