Hello Feng Qiu,
You have reached the wrong list. This is a list for discussing
linux documentation and The Linux Documentation Project. I'd
suggest locating a linux user's group near you to ask the sort of
question you asked here.
Alternatively, groups.google.com is an excellent search aid to see
if others have had similar problems before.
Regardless, I'll take a brief stab at your question.
: We have a few of RedHat7.3 boxes. We experience the nfs slowness
: sometime, especialy when SGI o2 is involved.
NFS interoperability is a source of ongoing troubles. Have you
tried mounting the filesystem with the option "retry=10".
: Is there anyway we can force ethernet card to use duplex or half
: duplex speed?
Yes:

Try "mii-tool -F 100BaseTX-FD eth0" or see the above documentation.
: Should we play with IRQ priorities? Thanks.
I wouldn't say so--it sounds like you have software issues, not
hardware issues.
