Hi,
Is there any advantage (e.g., one accesses content faster, is less processor intensive, etc.) of using NFS by either:

1. Automounting a share at startup in fstab and adding the source by selecting /root/path/to/nfs-foo in xbmc, or
2. adding the source via the NFS menu item in xbmc?
   

Or are they the same?

They do the same, however mounting them with fstab makes the sources XBMC independent, which is easier for some people to manage.

Thanks. I'll be managing my content via a windows desktop, so I guess I'll go with #2.

Option 3:
Shared sources

Look's interesting!

So to connect to my Windows HTPC sources, I'd do what is listed on github . com/xbianonpi/wiki/wiki/Shared-sources (links not working for me) on my Pi and change
"<to>SMB://192.168.1.x/xbmc/sources.xml</to>" to "<to>nfs://myWindowsIPAddress/c/Users.../xbmc/sources.xml</to>"
