Do you have "-O TCP_NODELAY" on the command line for smbd (or the equivalent in the smb.conf)? Without this, the typical symptoms are very poor performance where the client is a faster machine than the server. (note also that in old versions of the FreeBSD port of samba, this option was ignored silently due to a missing include file; recent versions in ports seem to be OK).
