On my LAN I get about 6 MB/s for FTP transfers (what FTP reports after transferring a 120 MB file), but I only get about 2 MB/s for Windows (SMB) file sharing (as reported by 'netcps').

I know that SMB is much more inefficient that FTP, but how can I improve the performance? Am I stuck with a factor of 3 slower transfers for SMB?
