Netbench results show Samba 2.2 faster than Windows 2000 in
all cases on the same hardware (up to 1GHz processor with 512Mb ram).

PS. Yes I know, lies, damn lies & benchmarks etc.... :-).
PPS. I wonder if any of the Samba vendors might like to 
reproduce these results :-) :-).

The most interesting part of that test (in the magazine anyway . . .
cancelled my subsciption :-)) is that they _insisted_ on turning oplocks off
on Samba for one test, and leaving them on Windows 2000, just to see if they
could get their "favorite product" to win the competition . . . uh,
no. :-)
In all honesty, that magazine has to be the most biased magazine towards
Windows that I have ever read in my life . . . when a product like Samba
wins against Windows 2000 in PC Magazine, I'm pretty damn impressed. Great
job Samba team!
