I can't speak to this issue in regards to OpenIndiana but CIFS/samba
has historically been much slower than NFS, FTP, and even netatalk,
etc. due to its large metadata overhead. One can observe this in the
wild with a few well time tcpdumps. One thing that might be worth
investigating in this situation, however, is a comparison of smbclient
transfers to/from another Unix host vs. transfers to/from a Win7 host.
Yeah, I actually tested that. smb on a centos5.5 box. Almost identical
results, which is why I am suspecting what you are. I think for now,
I'm just going to stick to using iSCSI....
