Slow file copies

  If you'e seeing 2-3 minutes for copies, there's something
very wrong.  Can you check the same machines with ftp?
The same files should copy from NT to NT and from
NT to the samba server in nearly the same time.  Seconds
in all cases, not minutes.
   You may have a hub or ethernet card in full-duplex on a 
half-duplex link, or a 100 mbps interface at 10 mbps: that's
the most common reason for mismatched speeds.

  See http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba/chapter/book/appb_01.html
for an example...
