Poor network performance in 5.4 AMD64 Snap 8 with SMP support

[Roger Skjetlein]

What would you recommend then? Is 6.0 a better choice even though it's

This box will server a cad/cam environment with 30 nfs clients. Storage 
is hosted on a Emc san.

Stabillity is the most important factor, number two is performance.
