My normal use is on NFS (Solaris and Linux) and IBM's GPFS 
(AIX and Linux).  I haven't noticed any particular problems, 
and LAPACK and the reference BLAS make a moderately sized 
working set of around 3000 source files.  Not kernel sized, 
but not tiny.

However, I mostly use git over NFS on a relatively slow 
machine.  NFS is faster than the local disk...
