My disks block size is 4096 byte.  We tried all kinds of value to both
options, in order to find the optimal values.

man smb.conf (samba 3.0.14a version) /max xmit \(G\)
The default is 65535, which is the maximum.  In some cases you may find
you get better performance with a smaller value.

Therefore we tried to lower the default value.

But we tried the default value, too. Unfortunately it hasn't changed for
the better :(

I make a little drawing to make the network topology clear (it may
help).
