What OS? What hardware? What NAS? How were you mounting the NAS volume? What was the network between them like? How busy was the network?

I've installed Oracle 9i2 under Solaris 9 from an NFS volume mounted from another Solaris 9 server over a moderately busy 100MBit network and haven't noticed any significant speed difference compared with installing off CD.
