[Samba] Samba performance

[Juan Pablo]

Hi Volker,

I've removed the SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 and the 3 other setting, 
reloaded samba and repeated the tests but still getting the same results for the 
local tests and also from Windows.

I am getting the following results in MBytes/s:

Test type    Local (dd)             Local (smbclient)             Window 7
Case1        161                          101                                  
   63
Case2        122                          119                                   
68

Case1: Read 1000 files 8 MByte each
Case2: 4 processes each reading 1000 files of 8 MByte each

Any idea how can I debug where the bottleneck is or why I get so low numbers 
when reading from Windows?

Thanks


Juan Pablo

Just remove the SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 settings.
Unless you're on a very old Linux or other Unix the kernel
is far better off figuring out that itself.

Just remove these 3 settings. If it's still slow after that,
we need to do more analysis.
