No, that' not the caching I was thinking about.

I meant literally just the "namespace" thing. Keeping that around as long 
as you have a export active. How many of those do you have on your average 
nfs server? Why not just create those nfsd namespaces once for each 
export at startup, and destroy them at exit.
