[Samba] Slow at loading large folder tree

[Στέφανος Ντουρουντάκης]

Hi all,
I have been trying for some time to fix the following problem.

Opening (listing?) from a NAS device a folder with about 000  
subfolders takes around 5 minutes to load.
I have been mingling with smb.conf with poor results.
I get about 70K/s transfer rate when loading the folder on Gbit LAN  
and 802.11g
This is my smb.conf file, working on OSX 10.4.
