Did you check out the NIC settings on the filer, switch and client? Try setting them all to 100 Full Duplex.

I have a friend running 6.3.1R1 and is seeing awful CIFS read performance. He can write a large file in 10 or so seconds from XP to the filer, but reads can take 5 minutes. The fs structure is 40 or so directories with thousands of files in each directory. If he creates a new directory with just a couple of files, the performance problem disappears. Does this ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks,
