Very bad performance when copying large files from windows to
samba-share

This doesn't appear to me to be the same problem Ulf posted. When looking at
those captures, I saw no leading pauses in the data flow. There was the
usual directory information gathering, and then the first write request at
offset zero, right after that. The performance appeared to be affected by
the one or two second pauses near the end of nearly every 64KB transfer
chunk.

This the summary:
Most interresting is the gap between the beginning of the transaction and
the actual writing (writing begins at about 45sec)
Any traffic above this point is just minor. After the 45sec the "real"
transfer begins.
As I found no way to search for checksum errors, I didn't found any..
The graph looks like this:

I can attach screenshots if interested.
