AFS is massively faster than all the others, mainly because it does
callback-caching and uses a connectionless protocol.  Coda is probably
the only other thing that comes close.  The exception, of course, is
when you're on the same ethernet segment as the server -- in that case
NFS is faster simply because it does less thinking per packet.

In particular, WebDav is dog-slow.  But it seems to "sorta" half-work
with every client OS, without installing any software.
