How to configure CIFS that local and domain users have fast transfer speeds?
I do have massive performance issues using CIFS / SMB / Samba in combination with users. It's independent from Active Directory (AD) being enabled or disabled. Local as well as domain users transfer data really slow. There as guest user is fine.
However I'm not able to figure out that causes the bottleneck for authenticated users? And how to configure samba to avoid the problem?
CIFS / SMB Transfer Speeds
User ----------- write ------------ read
Root ---------- 21.3MB/s -------- 21.8MB/s
Domain -------- 19.7MB/s -------- 19.4MB/s
Guest----------105.1MB/s ------- 101.2MB/s
(Root via AFP 109.7MB/s ------- 108.9MB/s)
Tested with 1GB junks sequential reading and writing.

Were you testing SMB1 (CIFS) or SMB3? The newer protocols can often reach much higher performance than the actual old CIFS. – user1686 – 2016-08-31T10:29:01.077
Allways same client. Should be SMB3 – Manuel – 2016-08-31T10:35:39.560
