Ian then experimented with the buffer-size option of
smbclient, and got an interesting set of numbers, which
I plotted and am attaching as a .gif file.
I'm used to sudden dropoffs in performance due to
things like fragmentation/collisions on a busy net,
but this is way to big a change to suit my intuition:
I'm used to perfromance going from bad to horrid,
not excellent to unspeakable...
Comments/suggestions, anyone?
