Samba 2.0.2 & speed

In my Lab I have set up one Linux server (PPro 200/64 MB) with Samba 2.0.2,
and I have 20 NT4SP3 WS.
The network is 10Mbit.
My problem is that when all users start compiling projects in VC++
5.0(project are saved on server)
this take a long time. I know that 10Mbit network can not give great speed
in this conditions, but I was wondering
is there some way that I can speed up trans. Setting something is smb.conf

I have read speed.txt from docs, but I do not know what are the best
settings for read size.
For now it is set to 32768. Is this the best value, or do I have to change
it. And is there some other settings
for socket options (beside TCP_NODELAY) that can speed up things.


P.S. Server is using 100Mbit network card connected to 100Mbit port switch.


Thank you for your help.
