In my experience Samba has really crappy performance.
Using 100 Mbps ethernet the transfer rate is ~4.5 MB/s with Samba and ~11 MB/s with NFS.
There are also the weird cases when transfer rate drops to ~200 kB/s with Samba. I've only seen that happen when transferring between Windows and Samba though. Between two Samba boxes the performance seems to be consistent.
