I found the resolution to my slow Samba transfers with this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/211884
In short, the problem: Connection speed set by the nm-applet is always 1 Mb/s (when it should be 54 Mb/s)
The solution: #sudo iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M (courtesy of Christian Mangold).
Not sure about my exact transfer rates, but my 350MB file is now taking ~6mins vs. 186mins
