Oops, missed that point in the initial email. You're correct -- it
wouldn't explain why windows is slow.

I *think* smbclient is actually reasonably fast and does parallel
reads/writes. You may want to try it. If it's also slow, I'd probably
do some analysis of the traffic on the wire and see if you can
determine the cause that way.
