OST isn't NAS/CIFS.  It's a completely different protocol.  Tests on DD
show it to be at least 100% faster than CIFS.  

That doesn't take much - CIFS (pre-Windows 2008) isn't designed for high throughput.  CIFS 2 (in Win2k8 and Vista) is supposed to be significantly faster and comparable to NFS performance.

Saying NAS/CIFS sucks isn't all that fair since NAS <> CIFS.
