What's the script doing?

As you not only upgraded Samba, but the whole OS, I would look for
issues like network-config, duplexing and such first.

How fast is your standard copy-to-samba-share for instance?

It is nice to tell us about your shiny new hardware, but this is
obviously not your bottleneck.

Maybe it is just your new NIC set to halfduplex-10mbit ---- ;)

In short words, this might not be a Samba-topic at all.

Look for basic network-config first.
