    Description

      Right now rtmax and wtmax are hardcoded in RpcProgramNFS3. These dictate the maximum read and write capacity of the server. Therefore, these affect the read and write performance.

      We ran performance tests with 1mb, 100mb, and 1GB files. We noticed significant performance decline with the size increase when compared to fuse. We realized that the issue was with the hardcoded rtmax size(64k).
      When we increased the rtmax to 1MB, we got a 10x improvement in performance.
