Oh you do want it if its the NFS server that does it, and if it can make the 
index available to you. Thats because directory traversal is just magnitudes 
slower than file-reading over NFS. so if you have a properly indexed file on 
NFS its many times faster than doing the find / recursive grep yourself. In 
addition it only needs to index once and then can answer the queries. 

Actually recursive directory listings are so slow over NFS that its just a lot 
faster to create a INDEX.gz in the base directory of the NFS share and zgrep 
that file each time .
