I'm not sure. It depends on why you're seeing a backlog.

So far, my testing still shows this to be slightly (~2%) slower than the
same setup running a threaded nfsd, but that could be different with a
NUMA server or faster disks.

Probably there is some more tuning to do here before this is quite
ready for prime-time. It may be worth testing in your environment
though if you have the time and ability to do so.
