The problem has less to do with CIFS, and more to do with applications
and the laws of physics.
The laws of physics dictate that large files opened from far away will
not perform like those that are close, and applications must be designed
to deal with those realities. This is one reason

CIFS/SMB protocols are poorly suited for high-latency connections such
as the public Internet (e.g. where you might use VPN). Even under the
best circumstances, many applications don't tolerate it well

CIFS/SMB protocols are poorly suited for high-latency connections such
