If you're running nfsv3, I think 8192 may actually be *smaller* than the
default block size. So you may have reduced it, not increased it.
I'm not going to argue with it if it fixed your problem, but I now tend
to stay away from rsize and wsize tweaks. They were necessary for older
NFS versions, but people have kept doing them as a sort of cargo cult
ritual even on newer versions.
