Call it what you will - I just want to be realistic about what to
expect from application performance in common environments.

There's no concurrent access happening - just home directories where a
user will be working on one machine or another - which is mostly
transparent to normal applications.. Should there be a difference if
they work on the server hosting the exported partition or will it
still be slow due to locking?
