This is an MVME6100 mounting an nfs share to write data to.
Physically that mount is some kind of NetApp Storage Device. The
application acquires pixel data from an array controller
attached on a PMC card, then copies that 50M to the nfs mount.

I'm just trying to find if it's known that RTEMs can perform better.
