Still an issue for me on 13.10 with Atheros AR9285, reading from my SMB-
NAS works fine but during writes, the whole system comes to a crawl,
mouse is very choppy, enormous lags in doing anything. Very frustrating.

Title:
  CIFS is slow to read from, and choppy to write to, compared to smbfs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I recently started using an old USB1.1 network interface with dapper,
  and have been having problems reading files from a remote Windows
  machine on the LAN.  I can download packages from the ubuntu
  repositories at speeds up to 600Kb/s, but from the local cifs mount I
  am only getting something like 100Kb/s.

  Also, when I try to copy a large file to a cifs mount, the system
  starts running very slowly, even the mouse pointer keeps getting
  'stuck' for a few seconds at a time.

  I would like to continue using cifs, since it works with large files
  better than smbfs, but it's currently not very usable.

  Using 'smbfs' instead of 'cifs' to mount the remote Windows share
  fixes both of these problems, and gets my something in the region of
  700Kb/s in both directions, which is approaching what I would expect
  to be able to achieve with a USB1.1 interface.

  The 'smbfs' mount looks like this:
    //192.168.1.12/d on /mnt/breezy/home/chris/smb/server/d type smbfs (rw)

  The 'cifs' mount looks like this:
    //192.168.1.12/d on /mnt/breezy/home/chris/smb/server/d type cifs (rw,mand)

  I can't find any documentation for what the 'mand' option does, but I
  didn't specify it when mounting.


  I ran 4 tests, both reading and writing a large file using both smbfs
  and cifs.  Here's what happened:

  1. reading from smbfs: reads a steady 700Kb/s (14M in 20s)

  2. writing to smbfs: writes around 700Kb/s (14M in 20s)

  3. reading from cifs: takes a couple of seconds to read anything at
  all, then reads at about 100Kb/s (2.2M in 20s)

  4. writing to cifs: starts very fast, but then system gets choppy, the
  mouse pointer freezes regularly.  note the 8 second lock up from
  23:52:27 to 23:52:35.  After killing the 'cp' command, it doesn't die
  for a long time, output is still going on - some buffer is being
  flushed to the network I guess.  Writes around 700Kb/s on average.

  Here are transcripts of the tests I ran:
