The thing is, on the same machine, same net same moment, when I load the same folder from windows XP (through parallels) it takes like 10sec while samba 10min!!! MTU is 1500, set to match 100T devices like router and NAS on the LAN. Even on crossover cable it freaks out the same way. Btw my NAS is a Lacie Ethernet drive with linux based firmware and samba. Funny enough I load folders (ie itunes with 600 subfolders) from shares on a win2k3 server quite fast.
I wonder if it has to do with buffers or smth...

Have you checked your networking equipment. I was having similar results, and it turned out that the NIC and switch didn't autonegotiate to the same

After hard-setting both ends, things speed up nicely.

Subject: [Samba] Slow at loading large folder tree

Hi all,
I have been trying for some time to fix the following problem.

Opening (listing?) from a NAS device a folder with about 000
subfolders takes around 5 minutes to load.
I have been mingling with smb.conf with poor results.
I get about 70K/s transfer rate when loading the folder on Gbit LAN
and 802.11g This is my smb.conf file, working on OSX 10.4.
