Samba with Winbind

[Konkol, Josh]

I am running Samba with Winbind to authenticate against an NT 4.0 domain.
Everything appears to be working fine.  Problem is when I do response time
comparison between file services on NT vs Samba, NT is twice as fast.  The
testing was a simple program that created 200 directories then deleted them,
copied a 145 meg file then deleted it and then copied 779 files and then
deleted them.  Timestamps were taken after each action.  Below are the
results:

11/10/2001 12:46:26

11/10/2001 12:46:26 PM Start Logging Linux...
11/10/2001 12:46:31 PM Created 200 directories in 5 seconds.

11/10/2001 12:46:35 PM Deleted 200 directories in 4 seconds.

11/10/2001 12:48:13 PM Copied g:\IS1117.txt in 98 seconds.

11/10/2001 12:48:14 PM Deleted g:\IS1117.txt in 1 seconds.

11/10/2001 12:51:22 PM Copied 779 files in 188 seconds.

11/10/2001 12:51:44 PM Deleted 779 files in 22 seconds.

11/10/2001 1:01:48 PM Deleted g:\IS1117.txt in 0 seconds.

11/10/2001 1:03:01 PM Copied 779 files in 73 seconds.

11/10/2001 1:03:04 PM Deleted 779 files in 3 seconds.


I found on the samba.org web site the PC Mag article  that says that Samba
is faster.  The only differences I can find are that:

1.  I'm using Winbind, and there is no mention of it in the article.
2.  I'm running Linux on an os/390.


ANY help is appreciated.
