IMO Confluence is the best skin on the ATV for doing the initial setup, and once you have everything up and running you can switch back to T!
Both SMB and NFS are completely capable of streaming larger files once you select the file to play, but for smaller files that need to be searched for (as in the case of thumbs) NFS is faster. I only use NFS for thumbs, and still use SMB for the actual library access
The CPU on the ATV is slow as crap, if its still in the middle of scanning your library, then it will likely be even slower. On top of that depending on what other scripts are running in the background will slow the process down even further.
