I used plan 9 for a while, and I really like it; but when I was looking to use a network filesystem I tried a 9p remote mount between two Linux servers over the internet. I was disappointed to find that it was much much slower and generally performed worse than sshfs, perhaps due to lack of caching and readahead. Perhaps there is some way to use 9fs more effectively with a caching / readahead layer, I guess it would be simple enough to implement such an intermediate server in plan 9.
