I redirected my issue to this list, thanks for the hint. See

I did some further tesing in between. First result:
Only writing to the cifs mounted share is slow, reading from it is fast (8
MB/s) and not interrupted.

Second result: Writing is slow and interrupted even with the original and
current Sarge package kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686 (2.6.8-13).
(For my first test I did nothing else than taking .config from the above
and compiling my own version of it with kernel-package and
kernel-source-2.6.8 (2.6.8-15). I only removed most drivers not relevant in
the VM and optimized for P4 rather than 686.

So I think this bug should not just be closed as it occurs with only plain
Debian sarge packages, too. If you think it should be reassigned to a kernel
package, then please do so, as I'm not sure which of these is the right for
this bug.
