gvfs painfully slow over smb (samba)

[Mikael Nilsson]

Binary package hint: gvfs

Hi!

I'm trying the gvfs code in Ubuntu hardy.

I'm pretty annoyed by the smb performance. I have a Debian-based NAS on my LAN,
that usually gives around 2-3 Mb/s transfer speeds, using kernel (cifs) mounts.

Accessing the share using smb:/// in nautilus gives me about 300 kb/s, or about
a tenth of the speed.

I've tried measuring using command-line and the FUSE .gvfs/mountpoint/... -
and the results are the same, meaning that it is not nautilus' fault.

I really hope this is an issue that can be fixed, as I think gvfs is shaping up
nicely! Let me know if I can help debug.

Also reported upstream.

sftp over gvfs is painfully slow. like 2-3 seconds slower from only taking 0 to 1 second to browse. Saving files is even worse. It's like its logging in the the server every time.
