Would it not be better to split the networks physically. I mean one
network( + routers) for the NFS (basically for remote IO) and the
other network(+ routers) for the interprocess comunications. This of
course if you are not fully saturating your Gigabit network. This way
copies to the master and checkpointing would not degrade the
performance of your calculations.
