Well... there may be a few other differences. You want to see whether the connections are using SMB2 protocol instead of SMB1, for example. Basically, though, comparing the Linux kernel client to Windows is sort of an apples/kumquats comparison. The client code is very different, and in SMB the client's performance features have a lot of impact. > However I don't think "unix extension" has anything to do with > performance of writes and rewrites. Agreed. > I only guess is the samba client in > Linux is works well with samba than the Microsoft's smb client which is > in windows 7. Samba is designed to work well with Windows too. Windows clients are the majority of the Samba market, after all. I do know, however, that the Linux CIFS client has some performance enhancements that may make a difference. > "unix extensions" parameter controls whether Samba implements the CIFS > UNIX extensions.

The purpose of the Unix Extensions is to preserve POSIX semantics between the client and the server. Otherwise, a Linux client has to translate semantics (things like permissions and timestamps and such) into Windows format, and then the server has to translate them back. Unix Extensions currently only work with SMBv1 protocol.
