... which is really not very impressive...

Not exactly astonishing as these are only the means to transport your 
input to the DIR. They don't do any real work.

I don't really know much about windows performance tuning.

But you could check if there's an unusual high CPU usage during restores.

Also, there might be network problems. If possible, try another NIC in 
one the servers, it might help more than any reasonable person would 
expect :-)

How fast does the NAS server work when reading a volume file? Try 'dd 
if=/path/to/a/volume bs=64512 of =/dev/null' and caculate your read 
transfer rate.

More sophisticated file system benchmarks do exist, too.

How fast can you write to these over the network? Try netio or other 
network throughput measuring tools.

Apart from the above suggestions, you should try to elimintate variables:
- Have you tried to set up a device to store locally, on the Bacula 
server, to see if restores from it do perform better?
- Have you tried restoring not to the original client, but to the Bacula 
server itself?
