FreeBSD NFS server & Linux clients

[Ian]

I'm trying to get some opensuse 10.3 clients to access nfs shares on a FreeBSD 
5.5 server. It works fine most of the time, but every so often when using big 
programs like openoffice & firefox, the program will stop responding for a 
couple of minutes.
After doing some googling, I enabled lockd & statd enabled on the FBSD 
server - before I did that, those apps wouldn't even start without massive 
delays. I still get these occasional lockup while using the apps however. 
Interestingly, other apps seem to be able to access the nfs shares even while 
the 'big' apps have stopped responding.

Just wondering if anyone has any idea how to fix or even troubleshoot this 
problem?

My rc.conf on the server looks like:
portmap_enable="YES"
rpcbind_enable="YES"
rpc_lockd_enable="yes"
rpc_statd_enable="yes"
nfs_server_enable="YES"
nfs_client_enable="yes"
mountd_flags="-r"

Cheers,
