Can anyone shed any light ( or offer dome diagnosing tips) on why I am

opposed to 3 seconds. The problem does not seem to be as pronounced
with other file types though it is still slower.
This problem has been plaguing me since I upgraded samba to a new host
and went production on it and NOW I am receiving a barrage of
complaints from admin staff with the "why did you break it" ? underscore
!!
At this point I have ruled out the obvious. Hosts running the builds are
on same network, storage is faster on the new build, same ver of excel,
same file (7mb) accessed from same machine. Newer build is running on
substantially faster hardware, and storage BUT is authing against an
ldap backend as opposed to /etc/passwd
Changed version of the kernel ? You might want to get debug level
10 logs from the old and new versions and compare where things
start being different.

Yes, completely different OS's eg Solaris 8 Sparc and Solaris 10 x86.
Which log file(s) would I want to grab that info out of ? Samba logs
to a variety of logfiles and is verbose when set at 10. If I can
isolate this specific large .xls file access in the logs this might
be a start?
I was hoping that there was some obvious setting OR difference
between the two versions of Samba that I missed AND am wondering if
others are seeing this behavior, with say MS Office apps on this ver
of Samba ?
