Have you tried tweaking nfs/nfsd? Failing that you could try with samba.

I successfully used both samba and nfs.

I use these nfs mount options:
udp,rsize=32768,wsize=32768,noatime
and exported with (async,rw,root_squash)

async perhaps could help you under heavy load.

for samba I use
cifs,sfu as mount options (I found cifs to perform better than smb 
although I noticed a bit of cpu overhead)
hope this helps
cheers
Massimo
