SMB1 on 10.7-10.8 also took a LOT of cpu on my old iMac, AFP very little.
I wonder with SMB2/3.

Now that I have AFP working I can try Samba4, I wonder which one gives better performances.

You mentioned user space Samba vs kernel space CIFS. Pros/cons? Is kernel space safer? Faster? Shorter access times? Better for few users or multiple concurrent users? I never found a comprehensive explanation of the differences of the two alternatives.

Thanks
