[Samba] MS Access macro's running very slowly

[Gibbs, Simon]

Hi,

I¹ve recently migrated to a Samba3 server and everything seems to be running
well apart from a problem with some users that run macros in MS Access.
I¹m told that a process which used to take 15min on the old W2K server took
over an hour on the new samba box.

After having a scan through the archives I think the problem may be related
to oplocks/locking but I¹m pretty sure I¹ve got these setup OK.
Checking usage through top and vmstat shows that the server isn¹t overloaded
so I guess there may be a problem in my config somewhere.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know.
Thanks

The box is running RHEL4, kernel version 2.6.9-11.ELsmp and
samba-3.0.10-1.4E.

smb.conf is as follows:
