Is there any way to tune the CIFs parameters when using SMB2 so the 'windowing' spins up quicker?
What I mean is: when I copy a file via CIFs, it starts slowly (several hundred kb/s) then over a few seconds ramps up to max (I get around 800Mb on SMB2 over gigabit which is fine considering overhead). This is fine when copying large files but can make copies of lots of small files very slow.
I notice that if I turn on SMB3 it ramps up MUCH quicker, but then I lose the ability to map the share via name, which I require. Is there something I can tune in SMB2 in the CIFs parameters under the hood? (or am I missing something in the GUI?). I know linux SMB will usually be a bit worse than windows native CIFs but I think there's room for improvement. Its not my disks as I get this with both SSD and spinning storage, and like I said, switching to SMB3 pretty much eliminates the ramp-up lag, but its not an option.
Client PC is Win8.1 update 1
