copy from mounted vs through shell

Hi List,

In a scheduled set-up I wish to download files from a samba share 
through the internet at a reasonable good speed. So it isn't only a LAN 
environment. Doing copying from a mounted network (smbmount) drive 
provides only ~25Kbytes/sec download speed, meanwhile copying the same 
data from the same sharing is produced 10 times faster when it happens 
via the smb-shell!

Samba shell is not highly configurable and feature oriented, so I have 
to benefit from other shells (perl, bash, etc.) for customization purposes.

There must be a good explanation of the reduced speed. Do you have any 
idea what I could do about that? At least in which direction to go with 
debugging the problem?

Best,
mAkos
