We were seeing a simular problem.  About once a week our vax would go
crazy with nfs loads.  The problem was discovered to be find from machines
that mounted nfs partitions from a vax.  The source machine would go do
the find from say /usr.  If all machine nfs something such as /usr/man
the finds from remote machines would all bang on the ultrix /usr/man
partition.  Hence if you do find's, do them carefully.  If you are on a sun
use -prune and -fstype options.
