A brief question for those experienced with NFS environments: do you expect
the operation of copying a file with "cat" from a remotely mounted file
system to /dev/null to be (A) about the same as using rcp, (B) about the
same as for a file from a local disk, or (C) something else (?).  I'm not
really interested in special situations, just this straightforward (and
admittedly overly simple) test.
