Bug Description

Copying data by Files says 5MB/s - when I use "Files" and I mounted windows share (from Freenas 9.x stable) and copy to local disk (also by Files).

When I use "old way"
in /etc/fstab is:
//192.168.x.x/public /media/netio cifs noauto,guest,iocharset=utf8
mount /medi/netio
and copy files by any tool (also files), it tooks about 1,5 hours and 44 MB/s.

I am copying 170 GB and by gvfs it tooks about 9 hours - more than working day, by mount and copy only 1,5 hour.

I have updated 18.04, packages:

In Ubuntu 16.04 gvfs and mount worked almost the same speed.

Problem is not in gvfs.
I found that I am connected to the same network by the 1 Gigabit copper interface and by the wireless. When I used mount, traffic went through 1 Gbit copper, when I used gvfs, traffic went by Wireless (~100 Mbit).
Maybe is issue of the network manager?
