What happened to the retransmission rates when you changed to TCP?
Note that on TCP (besides bumping the value for timeo) I would also recommend using a full 32k r/wsize instead of 4k (if the network is of decent quality, I'd recommend 32k for UDP too).
The other tweak you can apply for TCP is to bump the value for /proc/sys/sunrpc/tcp_slot_table_entries. That will allow you to have several more RPC requests in flight (although that will also tie up more threads on the server).
Don't forget that you need to unmount then mount again after making these changes (-oremount won't suffice).
Cheers, Trond
