[Samba] Slow Access Database on Samba

[Jorge Santiago]

I've applied all the optimizations you mention in that URL in my own
smb.conf but my problem persists.  The first user of the database
opens it very fast, but the next users that try to open it, do it very
slowly.  Do you know what option (locking option?) might cause this
behaviour? I've also tried 'strict locking = no' with no success.

Thanks for your help,

santiago.
