Did you try launching 4 simultaneous cp operations over nfs to get to 1.2 GB/s?
 I've witnessed single stream copy performance with Samba being less than
maximum due to Samba limitations.  Running multiple copy ops in parallel then
usually saturates the pipe.

I'm thinking you may have a single threaded process involved that's eating all
of one core, at which point there is no scalability left for that operation.
