Yes, that is what I am suggesting you try. I am suggesting you use the
largest value you can. Assuming the client and server are both Linux and
SL6 or newer, that value will be 1 megabyte.

Your "dd" experiments are doing something completely different... That is
just affecting how much data userspace is trying to read/write at a time.
The NFS request payload size is controlled by these rsize/wsize settings,
and for a "proto=tcp" mount you want to make them as large as possible
(assuming a fast network).
