Comment 6 for bug 810606

I tried the tweaks as suggested by Massimo Forti, and I can say that they did the trick. The speed with cifs jumped to ~7.5 MB/s (read and write), which is much better than 500 KB/s with cifs I had until now and ~5 MB/s with gvfs (but, still, less than ~10 MB/s I had before). These settings almost solved the problem in my case ("almost" only because I had even greater transfer speed before, but don't get me wrong, this is a fantastic improvement).

Massimo, thanks again, you solved a very big problem of mine. I will try to see if there is something else that's limiting the speed to ~7.5 MB/s in the next few days and will report what I found.
