Slow on one client, not on the other

So I have my desktop PC (gigabit), and performance to my FreeNAS is fine. let's say around 30-40 MB/s. On My wife's laptop though (100 MB), performance is a disaster: 1.5 MB/s max. If I copy from other sources to her laptop: I get around 10 MB/s. Both clients are Windows 7.

So for some reason copying to that laptop (not to another 100 MB laptop), things go horribly slow. Even more, when I enable wireless and disconnect wired, I get speeds up to 3.5 MB/s on that laptop... What could this be?

I did some more tests, and it is only that slow when copying data from the FreeNAS. When uploading data, I get 8MB/s as expected...

Running iperf from and to the laptop shows it is not a network related issue:

Edit: Tried scp instead of CIFS: no problem. So CIFS reads are sow, the rest is fine... I'm beginning to think CIFS on FreeNAS is not what it is supposed to be...
