I had similar issues that went away with NFS tuning.  However, it
sounded like the original poster had the files stored locally.

For reference, here are the mount options that I found worked best.
Higher rsize & wsize or lower didn't work as well for my setup.

192.168.33.3:/var/storage       /var/storage    nfs
soft,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,nfsvers=3,tcp
