[Samba] Samba - XP performance problem

[David Beck]

Ooops. I tried with copy from the cmd shell and made a few experiments 
with that. You are right, it does not show the performance problem.

I used Total Commander for copying the files, so I looked into the 
configuration options and found that it has some "way too smart" options 
for copying files. It used small buffers to speedup the transfer of 
small files (default option). If I set compatibility mode for the Samba 
drive then it works fine.

Sorry for wasting your time and thank you for the tests you made. That 
helped.

Best regards,
  David.
