And same partition mounted via CIFS works great reads and writes (to the same linux host even, just mount cifs instead of nfs).   I haven't been able to gleen any advice via google, and most of the NFS tuning advice is more like "how to eek the last few bits of speed" where as when I say horrible, I mean instead of 45 MB/s, I am getting 0.6 MB/s write performance.

Not a solution, but something to test.

If you turn off sync writes on whatever fs you're exporting, does the write speed on nfs start to match smb?

ie:  zfs set sync=disabled yourpool/yourfs

Don't do that with important data, just use it for testing.
