Yeap.

The CIFS/SMB protocols are very chatty, and so have greater overhead
than NFS.

They have tried to slow NFS down by bolting more on (such as TCP), but
it is still far faster, and they are bolting stuff on at a slower rate
than CIFS.

If NFS is slower something is broken.

It may be a case of NFS being faster because it does less, but if it
does enough that isn't usually a problem.
