OK, OK, I picked a bad test. 

For comparison, here are the results copying from NFS and CIFS mounts
alongside the original scp test figures.


		scp		NFS		CIFS	

slug		1.3 MB/s	3.9 MB/s	4.2 MB/s

DNS 320 	3.6 MB/s	7.6 MB/s	5.6 MB/s

I confess I am puzzled by the difference between the two devices using
CIFS. I have repeated the tests and get the same results. It seems odd
that CIFS should be faster than NFS on the slug, but so much slower on
the DNS. I guess that may be down to implementation (or version)
differences.
