SAMBA Really Slow

I just installed RedHat 7.0 on what was an NT server. The unit will
primarily be used to serve files to Windows clients. My problem is that
Samba is chewing up a lot of processor cycles to the point that it is
unusable an SMB file server.
The primary application which it is serving files for opens up a bunch of
files (around 60) when it first starts and it seems to be here where Samba
is running very slowly. It does not seem to be a memory problem as there is
a lot of free memory available while this is happening.
System looks like this:
Pentium Processor @ 233 MHz
128 MB RAM
IDE Hard Drive with an "hdparm -t ..." transfer rate of about 8 MB/sec
Any thoughts before I blow Linux off and make it a Windows box again. Ugh!
