I believe you said the F25 server is running Samba to supply the files.
Are you certain it isn't the F25 Samba client that's causing this?
No.
Try
having the F25 server share the same directory via NFS and use the F25
NFS client for testing. See if that improves things.
How about ssh? When I use ssh on Fedora 25 to drag down a file I'm
getting slightly different results, 4.4MB/s. So it's faster than the
GNOME samba client, whatever that's using, but it's still slower by 2x
than the Windows 10 samba client.
