I have a somewhat similar setup and have the following results when writing to my OpenSolaris box:
Samba --------------- For files bigger than ~256KB, up to 60MB/sec For smaller files, up to about 10MB/sec Cifs ---------------- For files bigger than ~256KB, up to 43MB/sec For smaller files, up to about 16MB/sec Read performance is much the same. Also, the responsiveness when reading from a Cifs share is much better. I'm hoping for some performance improvements that will improve the large file write speeds to compare with Samba. FYI, you may be having issues using the rge driver with the onboard Realtek. Try the gani driver (Google: "gani driver") or a different NIC. Cheers.
