[Samba] Infrasoft MX very slow loading from Samba share

[peter.a.bryant at mainroads.qld.gov.au]

We are experiencing long delays when loading MX files stored on our samba
fileserver.

We are running  version 2.2.7a of Samba on Solaris 8 servers.
Using MX version 2.5 and higher  on  windows 2000 and XP workstations

When the files are stored locally they load in a few seconds, whilst taking more
than a minute to run
from the Samba server.  Our current workaround is to store the files locally,
but this is not ideal.

Other application files(e.g. Word, etc) of similar size load from the server in
seconds.
Problem seems to be confined to MX files.

Just wondering if anyone is aware of any conflicts between MX and Samba.
Or if anyone is successfully storing MX files on their Samba server.

thanks for any information

-peter.
