TCP and NFS performance?

There are several Linux folks around who mostly play around at home. I'm try ing to push FreeSD as a rock-solid platform for most apps( smtp/routers/www servers ). I read recently that the NFS / tcp performance of Linux is not quite that of FreeBSD. Course this was in a Linux vs FreeBSD thread...so without starting a flame war here can anyone throw real numbers at me on network performance. I'm already sold on FreeBSD as to stabilty. TIA.
