Hate to point this out, but 7.74MBps is not "whopping." I can get
9.98MB/sec using my crap Davicom 10/100Mbps LAN card getting an ISO from a
Linux server with an Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100. This is to a machine
with a single measly IDE hard drive. CPU usage is about 27% on the client
(with a PIII-933) and 35% on the server (with a PIII-700). Both client and
server running 2.4.4 with ReiserFS.
NB: ReiserFS is mucho faster than XFS. =)
As for Samba results.. I'm not qualified to comment on that. Haven't
really tried to benchmark.. but it certainly is gonna be slower than FTP
because of the overhead of oplocking, etc.
Windoze is NOT a good way to test network speed, because Win9x sets the
TCP window size too low. The same client running Windoze can barely cough
up 4MBps FTP transfer from the same server. With NT/2k it's a different
story, but I don't have those..
