you are lucky having such values!!
i'm getting 1.4MB/s with SMB and 2.8 with CIFS
i've also done some testing and compiled another smbd in gentoo chroot on NAS
with same performance results! so now I think the performance will not be
much better via smb/cifs protocol on this NAS hardware.
at least this cpu has ~70 bogomips compared to ~4000 with my 2.0GHz Pentium-M
when downloading from NAS, arm cpu in NAS is very busy for smbd (95% or more)
and when downloading from my laptop to another computer it is around 2% (at
laptop).
so now i guess the performance of SMB is limited with NAS hardware.
has anyone got better results than yours 3.5MB/s ?
