I wouldn''t say that.  Apart from the occasional hang (now cured), it's fine.  What I would like now is more speeeeeeeeeeed.  I have upgraded to a gigabit network (which didn't cost me much to do) and this helped a bit but build times, especially limited to one parallel build task, are roughly 3 times as long as on a local file system.  I would imagine an intermediate *nix server would make this even worse.
 
I did try a few other things: Sharity (an alternative SMB client for the Mac, but very slow) and a couple of NFS servers for Windows (also too slow and unreliable).  The other option would be an AFP server for Windows (such as MacServerIP or ExtremeZ-IP) but these are expensive.  If anyone is using these and gets good results I'd like to know.  They do offer free trials.

In general I've found the SMB client in OS X to be very buggy, my solution is to have a share available as both SMB and Appletalk.  If the share resides on a 'nix server then it's easy to setup netatalk in an afternoon.  If the share is on a WIN200X server the workaround is a little more bulky - have a n intermediate'nix server (other then OS X Server) mount the share SMB share then export that mounted share via netatalk.  It's ugly, but effective.
