Actually, this article in MacUser only covers Netware for Macintosh for 
Netware 286 products.  The NLM for Netware 3.11 is not mentioned, so 
expect the performance advantage of Netware over Appleshare to widen 
even further.  

BTW -- Has anyone seen a full evaluation (not preview) of Netware for Macintosh
NLM?  We've had it for several weeks and has performed beautifully, but I 
was wondering what others think...
