You might want to study a capture of that transaction.  I'm guessing 
(wildly, since the above is all I have to go on) that the delay is not in 
the copy itself, but (perhaps) in the authentication negotiation.

A simple test would be to transfer a much larger file and see if the copy 
time goes up proportionally.  If not (i.e., if the KB/sec ratio improves) 
then my guess starts to look a lot better.

Take a look and let us know what you see.

Oh... and please let us know which version of jCIFS you are using.
