I've been experimenting with this, as well.  It takes about 25 seconds 
for me to load a 2100 song DB from an NFS server.  I am also working 
from a wifi connection at 11mbps.  Is this slowdown an NFS problem, or 
can some optimizations be written in Rhythmbox to recognize that songs 
are referenced through NFS?
