[gentoo-user] Dolphin's nfs:// kioslave transfers files slowly

[gentoo-user] Dolphin's nfs:// kioslave transfers files slowly

[Alan McKinnon]

Hi,

Dolphin has a kioslave for nfs, used as nfs:// and mine runs slowly :-)

A transfer from my laptop to my media server using a regular nfs mount
runs at max speed (100Mb) over the LAN.
Using nfs:// it's 15% of that at most, usually around 10Mb or so.
I see the same thing at the office when comparing smb:// and a regular
smbfs mount using cifs.

I'm clueless about where to even start looking :-)
What could explain this behaviour?

[nfs:// and smb:// seem to use libs that implement those protocols, much
like how XBMC uses libnfs, KDE just doesn't use the libnfs project to do it]

Try watching it in Wireshark and compare a normal NFS mount vs. Dolphin.
