[Samba] questions regarding 40G Samba Server

[Garland McAlexander]

CIFS is single threaded, if you plan on using it with a large amount of
users, you'll want to have faster cores. NFS is multi threaded, so you can
take advantage of additional cores better. Depending on how many users you
are serving, it sounds like a six core E5 (higher per core clock) would fit
well.
