[Samba] Tunning samba for better read performance

[Jones]

Hello Jagan,

Perhaps change the NIC driver parameters on windows 7,
Goto Control Panel -> Network and Share Center
-> Ethernet (1Gb ethernet interface on board)
-> Properties -> Configure -> Advanced,
and try followings:
1. Flow control: Disabled
2. Interrupt moderation: Disabled. Or other options.

BTW, could you post the on-board Ethernet information,
for example Intel I217-LM or Realtek Family GbE, etc,
thanks.
