[Samba] Directory listing with 11k files very slow to list

Hello,
I have a samba server which has a directory with 11764 files. (The
program stores information about jobs and each job has 3 files, nothing
I can do about it).
When I do a listing of that directory using smbclient, it takes 15+
seconds to complete, same thing on Windows XP.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can speed this up?
I did a log on log level 10, it is accessible at
http://www.enger.org/backup.log (10761841 bytes).
Timeline I have noticed:

If anyone has any ideas that would be great.
I have tried Samba 2.2.7a and 3.0.2 which both have the same issue. Log
is from 3.0.2. Running Fedora Core 1 and ext3 file system.
Thanks,
