Hello !
There is an interesting performance comparison of three popular
operating systems [1], I thought it could be of interest for people
hanging on this list.
These guys used their tool FlexTk as a benchmark engine, which is not
a benchmark tool per se, but still provides an interesting data.
The paper doesn''t mention it, but AFAIU, OpenSolaris was configured
with Samba, rather than with native CIFS server.
I find their approach of avoiding any performance tweaks quite
interesting, as it gives a fair estimation of what average user can
expect out of the box.
Anyway, would be interesting to know what people think about it.
P.S. For the sake of full disclosure I must say that I know personally
Flexense people.

Windows will be using NTFS but Linux has a choice of many filesystems. The default is usually ext3, which does not perform as well for operations like writes and file/directory deletes as ext4 or XFS. The ext4 option is to be avoided for obvious reasons.
