I don't think that will help you. I am talking about the overhead of
the two protocols.
For example, if you were access files via NFS, you might see something
like this
client -> NFS -> NFS server
and for samba
client -> SMB (CIFS) -> Samba server
However, in your example,
client -> SMB (CIFS) -> Samba server -> NFS -> NFS server
The client has to go through two network file systems to get to the
data.
