Perfect... exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I didn't include it because it didn't change across my comparisons, but here
it is:
--/etc/samba/smb.conf--
#Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = MSHOME
netbios name = NAS3
security = SHARE
server string = Samba Server
log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
max log size = 50
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
encrypt passwords = yes
[data]
comment = RAID5 Share
browseable = yes
path = /data
force user = nobody
force group = nobody
read only = No
guest ok = Yes

I haven't tried playing with the socket_options. Tweaking those would
perhaps change my performance of the smb tests, however it still wouldn't
explain why smb over linux is much slower than smb over windows.
