Query about slow read performance

[Abhidnya Joshi]

Hi Jeremy,

Thanks for your reply. Yes we do see less number of credits being asked by
problematic client compared to the other Win2k8 client.
Is there any way to increase the number of credits client can ask for
irrespective of tcp level delays/sizes in Win2k8?

Thanks
Abhidnya
