That means you are less optimal than the direct-to-storage-server path 
in NFSv4.1, then........

If access controls permit, the ideal would be for the client to avoid an 
intermediary when storing data.  The client only _needs_ a consensus 
reply that their transaction was committed.  They don't necessarily need 
an intermediary to do the boring data transfer work.
