I did documented this in the cifs thread; but if you use ",direct" as part of the mounting command line you will typically get better performance. When I helped get WizardMounter to work on the n900 I was unaware of that -- it was something I found out after simular speed issues where discussed on my cifs thread. ; so I suspect that WM does not use ",direct" at this point in time.

However, if you do any research on cifs you will see that it has a lot of overhead so it probably will never be as fast as nfs or even sshfs. The cifs module that is compiled has _not_ been modified from what was shipped with the kernel. So if their are any issues with it -- it is basically because it is still under development by the cifs kernel team.
