Then please make sure you do this before making tiny optimisations.

I suspect it will be hard as autofs is partly in the kernel. You'd need to
ask an autofs expert whether this is possible without serious redesign.

I don't have a vanilla fedora install to verify, but isn't the nfs service
switched off in the default install anyway? I had to switch it on in my F8
kickstart files.
