If the protocol is latency sensitive then jumbo frames are BAD as it adds more latency because frames take longer to fill, longer to transmit and thus other conversations have to wait longer (poor pipelining/interlacing).
CIFS/NFS aren't really latency sensitive protocols though. If a protocol has a big TCP window then it will not tend to be latency sensitive.
I measure better throughput on NFS with jumbo frames than without. Measurement trumps assertions. :)
