Very poor writing performance

Should we add this to the Samba troubleshooting docs somewhere, if it isn't
in there already?  Granted it's not "really" a Samba problem, but it's
certainly a FAQ.

Thanks for the tip. I did see the same slowdown with FTP. I guess
that something was wrong with the duplex or even with the (old) card.
I replaced the network card with another one, and the problem is fixed.

Thanks
