I just set debug level 10 for specific tests. Afterwards I set it back to
debug level 2. I guess that should not make such a big difference.

I already captured two traces against Samba. One for the first client
which is fast:
http://almosthappy.de/duhLd6Tm1GQoC3j0YyiJ637IS/capture.fast (16MB)
Then a capture of the second client which takes 30 seconds longer:
http://almosthappy.de/duhLd6Tm1GQoC3j0YyiJ637IS/capture.slow (26MB)

And here are two new traces. One for the first client against Windows 7
serving the files:
http://almosthappy.de/duhLd6Tm1GQoC3j0YyiJ637IS/capture.win7.first_client (11MB)
And then for the second client (although it does not have a noticable
performance impact):
http://almosthappy.de/duhLd6Tm1GQoC3j0YyiJ637IS/capture.win7.second_client (13MB)

Unfortunately, I have no clue what I should be looking for in these
traces.
