Can you characterize the bandwidth separately:

 - between ESX (over HTTP) to the guest (not NFS) using wget
 - between the guest and the NFS server
 - seen when using virt-v2v between ESX and guest local disk
 - seen when using virt-v2v between ESX and NFS storage

Also look at the HTTP headers (ie. 'wget -S') to see if it's using
HTTP compression.
