Do you see a performance difference depending on the direction 
(to/from the Samba server) of the copy?  

I ask because I can *read* from my Samba server (all 2.0.x versions)
at FTP speed, but writes take 4 - 5 as long as an FTP PUT operation. 
This is with Linux, OS/2 and Win98 clients so the problem must lay 
with the server side, not a client config problem.
