Quite sensible, yes. Performance even seems to be good - I am getting
40-40MBps reads and 24-26MBps writes - so it'll stay the way it is.

Not that I am aware of: one of the first things that I did - and
repeated basically every step of the way - was to powercycle the two
switches, following the same line of reasoning you did. The clients
were turned off every night and turned back on every morning and the
WAN Comcast CPE wasn't touched for the duration. The only thing that
did change is that in an impetus of efficiency or perhaps desperation
I changed that cable too (to CAT6, 3' long), but I can't imagine that
would affect the LAN side of operations.
Thanks again - to everyone - for the help. I am still puzzled, but at
least I am puzzled with a consistent situation.
To Mr. Romieu: the patch you provided seems to work, in that 'regular'
loads don't trip samba up. I have to check the CRCs, though.
