Was this seen on all the distributions, or a specific one? What OS was the client running? There were some speed issues with CIFS when talking to NTLM2 boxes(Vista/Windows 7) that should be resolved by a samba/distro update. Check the send and receive buffers on the smbd config. The DVD transfer rates sound fairly poor even with FTP btw, 48Mb/s nowhere near gigabit saturation. Is this the constant transfer rate, or does it start much higher, then taper off?
