When you say "increase it", are you referring to the nfs block size (wsize )? 
It is set to 32K. 
The 4k numbers are the actual blocks sent (despite the wsize setting) (I got 
that from from tcpdump)
Your table is a little cryptic, but the closest to my config is I'm guessing is 
the Netapp-NFS-IMG where you get 83M.
or Solaris-NFS-IMG where you get 13M.

Then increase it ;)

This is my big comparison table:
