I would be curious what comments people have as to the usefullness or
futility of this approach. Closet is a Sun running 4.1.4, but I assume
that's not relevent. I'm somewhat skeptical and would be inclined to
do further tests...

Anxiety-closet was again being slow about serving up pages, so on a
lark, I decided to renice the afsd's to a priority of -2. Surprisingly,
that seemed to immediately fix the problem. (I say surprisingly because
I was surprised that a change in priority on the client side only would
make that much of a difference in the overall effect.) Would it be
reasonable to make -2 the default priority for the afsd's at boot time?
In cases where something else was the cause of a slowdown, I doubt it
would have a noticeable effect.
