Hi Rick,
I have the same problem as you. (sorry for my english) I have installed the same OS on a gigabyte mother board. I wanted to make a NAS with the nice ZFS. First I tried the new smb kernel implementation: file navigation (on windows) and streaming were too slow. File transfer was acceptable. I thought that was because of the young kernel implementation. So I removed every configuration related to it and I tried samba. Samba brought significant boost in file navigation. (I was happy) but streaming were even worst and file transfer were weird: when I transfer 2 files the speed were around 10MB/s and for one file the speed is around 100Kb/s ... I clearly, the wires are able to transfer at full speed, clearly ZFS is able to undertake it (and much more I think) but something weird is going on. At that point, I was going to reinstall UBUNTU and forget about solaris and ZFS but your story gave me hope. I'm up to again to find out what's going on.
