On non Netapp CIFS shares, I see no performance issues on OSX. They are all Samba based though. I have not tried a Netapp CIFS share though.
I don't really think Spotlight is an issue on CIFS.

Hi all,
Performance when accessing netapp CIFS shares from a Mac is frustrating, and in some cases downright unusable.
It seems mostly related to OS X's desire to index everything with Spotlight. Directory listings are slow, and if you're any way distant from the netapp, you'll find latency makes it completely unusable.
Have any of you found how to deal with this?
