Says something about NFS, doesn't it, when SMB is recommended in preference
to it... <g>

But yeah, I've seen that SMB transfers seem to go faster than NFS transfers
in similar network conditions.  I haven't tried using SMB as a regular
filesystem sharing tool amongst Unix systems, but with the faff-ups I've
been having with NFS lately, I may just try it out in the near future...
