LDM/GEMPAK NFS Question

Hello,

I am switching my LDM machine from a Sun Solaris 8 machine to a PC running
RedHat 9.  This PC will feed the data via NFS to 4 Sun Solaris 8 machines,
who in turn run GEMPAK scripts on the data and post imagery to the web.  My
prior setup had the 4 Suns mounting the NFS share of another Sun and things
went well.  I just made the switchover, i.e. made the PC/Redhat machine the
NFS server to the 4 Suns, and the mount went fine.  The problem is, now the
GEMPAK scripts take a very long time to run on the Suns.  A simple script
takes a couple minutes where it used to take 20 seconds.  I am assuming that
this is because of the communication between the PC and the Suns via the NFS
mount.  Are there any NFS settings I can use to make the data read faster?
Is this even the problem?  Has anyone faced this problem?  Any wisdom on the
situation would be helpful.  Thanks!

Patrick
