[Samba] MYOB Performance issues on Samba

I am experiencing a performance issue with MYOB accounting package being
served from a Debian 2.4.18 based server running samba. Clients are
Win2K/WinXP clients in a small workgroup environment, all maping drive
to samba 'data' share. Network is pure TCP/IP, no other (MS or Samba)
servers on LAN.
I've experimented with Oplocks and veto oplocks but to no result the
performance of the MYOB application on the client workstations remains
very poor whenever more than one user is connected.
smbstatus returns an Oplock value of 'EXCLUSIVE + BATCH' when only 1
user connected - when performance is OK.
Whenever >1 user connected smbstatus returns an Oplock value of 'NONE'
for all MYOB related files (*.MYO, *.FLK)
Has anyone else experienced this or similar issue with MYOB?
Any ideas?
