We determined that NFS was good for houing the ISO's etc, but not useful for us to house the Virtual Machines. But to clarify we did not do a lot of testing/tuning etc. and it was on very low spec hardware.
What raw speeds do you get from the NFS via a direct Linux(or windows) connection rather than via VMFS?
