Hi, I'm using SAMBA 2.0.0 an a Linux Box 2.0.36 P133/128MB 100MBit Ethernet in an NT Domain with an NT PDC and NT Workstation Clients (SP4) 10 MBit Ethernet. I run samba in the "domain" mode. Coping files is very fast (a lot of small ones or big ones), but if a want to start an Application (written with PowerBuilder 6.0) it takes a long time (18 sec). The Application EXE file is about 2 MB big, the DLLs are about 5 MB. Starting this Application from a NT Server takes about 4 sec. This is a *very* big difference. I'm working an this problem for two weeks now, trying every hint from Speed.txt. The funny thing is, if a start it from a samba-Linux box with P90 and 10 MBit ISA Etherent, its a little bit faster (12 sec). So it doesn't depend on the hardware. With the Performance monitor of NT you see very good, that accessing a NT Server there is one big peek with the maximum bandwith - accessing samba there are some small hills over a long period. Please help me, otherwise I have to use NT and that would be very bad.
