NFS has also other issues (file locking, timestamps - might be dependent 
on the NFS version used) which make it a sub optimal choice for 
development and building in my experience.

You can tweak that a bit via settings but I am afraid not to a level 
which would make working on an NFS share comfortable.

That I don't really understand.  Wouldn't you check out your files on 
the remote machine from some kind of version control system and build 
there?  You're not placing only build artifacts on the NFS mount, do you?

If you do not want to go down the route of distributed version control 
(which you should for a whole lot of other reasons) you could have your 
workspace local and rsync it when doing the build to the remote machine. 
  Then start the build there.  But this is really a crutch.

Kind regards
