SMB2 will definitely improve user experience is an upgrade to a samba version (>=3.6.0) that supports SMB2. At least to Vista and Win7/8 users.
There's has been a discussion here:
http://forum.qnap.com/viewtopic.php?f=160&t=60473
Synology users already nag about this: http://forum.synology.com/enu/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50423#p194662. It's about time that QNAP proactively tackles competition on a technical level.

We have major performance issues. Tested network packets between SMB and SMB2 on network mounts while using certain application . About 20 packets transfer on SMB2 vs few thousand on SMB.

SMBv3 is the way to go - SMBv2 alone is outdated. Newer Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 functionality _requires_ SMBv3.

PS: I guess the wait will be long. QNAP messed up seriously the latest firmware and their fixes backlog must be huge
