Locking shoudn't be a problem if the nolock mount option is set.

He said it works fine over cat 5 so I think that the problem is a slow 
wireless connection. Setting nolock and noac should reduce the traffic a bit. 
IMHO the consumed bandwidth should be compared first with iptraf or a similar 
tool.
