Would it play better if it played off of a usb drive instead of over the network ?
Yes, performance is generally better from a USB drive than over network.
NFS performance is generally better than SMB.
By tuned NFS, I mean that manually mounting the NFS share from the OS and finding the best values for parameters like rsize, and trying udp and tcp. See here.
Overclock is pretty critical on Pi1 for good performance. Pi2 it's much less important.
