[Samba] FW: Slow opening files on Samba Version 3.0.22 (UPDATED)

[Will Holmes]

Hello,
 
  We are running Samba Version 3.0.22-13.30-1290-SUSE-SLES10  on an iSeries
LPAR with 512 memory and .10 of the processor and a GB NIC.  I have
successfully joined this server to our Windows 2000 active directory.   I
have copied over some data and setup some test shares and mapped the share
on my pc.    I can browse the files in the share with no problem but when I
open any type of file on this server it takes 5-10 seconds to open a file.
The files I am opening are really small files (around 16k).  Closing the
file take a little longer than expected. 
 
I noticed that when I opened the file on the server the smbd process takes
80% of the CPU until the file is opened.
 
Does anyone have any ideas?
 
Thanks in advance!
