Changing one config in /etc/nsswitch.conf  appears to have fixed my
issue with this.

hosts:          files wins mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns


I did not discover this. Credit where credit is due.

Title:
  gvfs smb / cifs file copy performance is terribly slow

Status in gvfs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Copying moderate-size files to a samba share using gvfs is
  ridiculously slow compared to doing the same via mount.cifs.  For
  example:

  $ ls -sh testfile
  1.2G testfile
  $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share-gvfs/
  real	2m37.053s
  user	0m0.056s
  sys	0m5.120s
  $ time cp testfile ~/mnt/share/
  real	0m26.134s
  user	0m0.004s
  sys	0m1.724s

  I'm running Xubuntu 13.04 (raring) amd64, gvfs 1.16.1-0ubuntu1.1.
