I have experienced this bug on two Ubuntu desktop 12.04.5 x64 systems, copying to a debian 7 / samba 3.6 share. I haven't tried other OS versions though.
Steps to reproduce: Open remote share so it gets gvfs-mounted under ~/.gvfs cd ~ cd .gvfs/path/to/remote/samba/share cp ~/huge_file . Speed: roughly 5.5 Mbyte/s sudo mount /remote/samba/share /mnt cp ~/huge_file /mnt/ Speed: roughly maxes out wire. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gvfs in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1236619 Title: gvfs smb / cifs file copy performance is terribly slow Status in “gvfs” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Copying moderate-size files to a samba share using gvfs is ridiculously slow compared to doing the same via mount.cifs. For example: $ ls -sh testfile 1.2G testfile $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share-gvfs/ real 2m37.053s user 0m0.056s sys 0m5.120s $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share/ real 0m26.134s user 0m0.004s sys 0m1.724s I'm running Xubuntu 13.04 (raring) amd64, gvfs 1.16.1-0ubuntu1.1.
