Yes.  The old user-space nfsd is really slow compared to (for instance)
Solaris.  Get a 2.1.x kernel and use knfsd.

Red Hat 5.2 comes ready to drop in current 2.1 kernels.  I know, I did 
it just this weekend... nothing needed other than building and 
installing the new kernel.  Do make sure that you remember to turn off
SMP in the Makefile after you unpack the kernels as it's on by default
these days.

There is more work going on on making knfs better... it might be
buggy right now.
