CIFS uses TCP. NFS uses either TCP or UDP, and usually UDP by default. In order to improve NFS client performance, it may be useful to increase the 'rsize' and 'wsize' client mount options to 32K. Solaris 10 defaults the buffer size to 32K but many other clients use 8K. Some clients support a '-a' option to specify the maximum read-ahead and tuning this value can help considerably for sequential access. Using gigabit eithernet with jumbo frames will improve performance even further. Notice that most of these tunings are for the client-side and not for the server.
