Hello again

Now I have root access to manually mount/umount my laptop's harddisk. I
tried some rsizes/wsizes to find out the best setting. These are my
results (I set rsize equal to wsize):

(the table looks best with a fixed-width font)

time [min]

* = knfsd
o = old nfs daemon

Your assumption, that the problem drastically decreases when I reduce
the rsize/wsize to 1024, was right. But nevertheless the performance of
the old daemon seems to be up to 4 times better.
