Hi!

I have a user who is running a Samba server to store data
files for his ArcView 3.3 application. Client operating
system is Windows XP professional.

With Samba2 (2.2.8a) this was working quite fine, it usually
took less than a few seconds to load and render one of the
GIS presentations with ArcView.

We then did an upgrade to Samba3 (3.0.20b) and suddenly
the same operation now takes more than 20 seconds or even
minutes in some cases. You can even see the picture forming
slowly on the screen. Other applications do not suffer from
performance problems (The new Samba3 server is a really fast
Dual Opteron server with 4GB of RAM and a fast external U320
RAID running under Linux-2.4.31)

I took a IP traffic dump with tcpdump and also samba logs
with loglevel 10 and found that there are a _lot_ of small
packets going between the WinXP client and the Samba3 server.


[global]
        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
        kernel oplocks = Yes
        lock spin count = 3
        lock spin time = 10
