It solved my problems, the difference was really huge. The onboard realtek
8111B chip could do about 40Mt/sec file transfer over CIFS which looked good,
but in reality the io speed was very bad: backups to the CIFS share took ages,
copying files to using ftp and unzipping files located in the
Then I went and bought an Intel PCI Gigabit Ethernet card for 25€ which seems
to have solved the problem.
Is this really the case? If so that is an important clue to finding out why
virtualized opensolaris performance is so poor. I tried every network adapter
in virtualbox and vmware and
A few things to try: put in a different ethernet card
if you have one,
on one or more ends. Realtek works, but I've been
unimpressed with
their performance in the past. An Intel x1 pci
express card will only
run you around $40, and I've seen much better results
with them.

Glad to hear it.

I built a NAS with three 750 SATA disks in RAIDZ configuration and I've
exported some filesystems using the Solaris kernel CIFS.

I mentioned this too, but on the performance forum:

Unfortunately the performance forum has tumbleweeds blowing through it, so that
was probably the wrong place to complain. Not that people don't care about
performance, but

It looks pretty lively from my browser :-)
Now that you showed up ;)
In my case it is OpenSolaris in VirtualBox so I was expecting more cooperation,
or at least people striving to make them cooperate.
But like you said, this is likely just a case of OpenSolaris being optimized
