Yes, but that doesn't mean we can't become "very good". Anyways, we
can't fix any possible NFS problem, there are simply too many broken NFS
implementations around. I used to see IRIX issues when talking to Linux
2.2, and Linux itself has suffered from a lot of NFS bugs, BSD clients
hardly do client-side locking and so on.

Or sqlite (www.sqlite.org), but I haven't seen any of the mentioned data
bases under load.
