[ suggestion by Jeff Layton to try to ensure that a modern  ]
[ kernel addresses the issues we were seeing over WAN links ]

Just following up.

* Fedora 18 CIFS-over-WAN read performance, as recorded with the same
   testing that was done previously, is ~3.4x that of RHEL 6.3
   (or any common production distro running a pre-3.2 kernel).

So yes, the work done to CIFS addresses our situation directly.
