One Key Fact for UDP being much faster then TCP was
a.) The Lack of performant Hardware
(CPU Time was expensive and should not be shared for IO/Interrupts)
b.) The Lack of a performant Networkhardware
(Modern Hardware does offload TCP Flow to the Adapter, uses Jumbo uses
Jumbo Frames and so on, so the main argument for generating the TCP
Overhead is gone.)
Nowadays you most often have Gigabit Ethernet Cards and can use Jumbo
Frames with TCP. This often results in higher throughput rates.
On a High Performance Maschine NFS over TCP has the ability to have
somethling like Flow Control which helps when the Server is 1Gbit+ and
the Client only 100Mbit :) Or the other side around.
For us Jumboframes and TCP was the way to go.
