home directory and I don't have serious problems (except that it is
badly slow, but thats the fault of the underlying RAID which has a write
performance problem, because the controller (3ware 9550SX) is obviously
not the best you can buy). It works fine, as far as I am concerned.

I do so for very large checkouts, because a checkout to my HOME is very
slow (about 10 minutes for a ~ 200MB working copy where the checkout to
/tmp (which is on local disk) takes about 2 minutes) due to our RAID
problems. Otherwise I just use the NFS home and its fine.
