I have nothing too scientific to add. smb/server has always *felt* slower, and it also only does SMB 1.0 (well, at least in NexentaStor 3.1.5, though I believe they're adding SMB 2.x support in 4.0 which we're looking forward to). I always kind of wondered why Samba wasn't used -- seems to be faster, have far more features and of course is quite mature. Seems like a lot of redundant effort, though perhaps there were some good reason (licensing, etc.?)
