Anything at all that accesses the NFS share.

Examples:
ls /mnt/webserver/home/www
cp /mnt/webserver/home/www/index.html /home/backupwww

Whatever.  The first access to the NFS share takes a very long time.  After
that, things respond as they should.  Then, after not accessing the share for
several minutes or hours, it's back to waiting for the initial access to go
through again.
