smbclient is not very efficient, and smbmount is even worse. I think if you
try the Samba server from an actual Windows client you'll find it's faster
than it is from smbclient.

The problem is: Samba is slow (4,5mb/s) compared with Novell (6mb/s),
Windows (5.5mb/s) or ftp (8mb/s).
The network benchmark test (netio) that I ran gave me 11.4mb/s
The disk benchmark (hdbench 0.14.1) gave me 30mb/s read and 27mb/s write
With the samba test I used smbclient and smbmount from another linux box
identical to the server. The volumen was and lvm/ext2 volumen.
