Having user homedirs on Coda? Yes.

This whole "NFS introduces a lot of overhead"
saying is a bit shady.
I mean, maybe you had unrealistic expectations in the
beginning.
You can take a look at some benchmarks at Coda Wiki,
http:/
/coda.wikidev.net/Small_file_performance
The test performed there is pretty simple, but it could give
you an idea.

sa) and
'cfs listacl' (cfs la). Coda supports a much more flexible
permissions
system than the usual rwxrwxrwx thing...

while
Wiki contains quick bits to get you up to speed.
See you,
