samba - Oct 2002 - MS-Access Application very slow (Solved ?)

Hi,

I have got the solution:

I upgraded hardware:
P4 - 2.4GHz
RAM 1 GB
LVD-SCSI Seagate 18GB - about 10,000 rpm

and now it works nearly as good as the winpc 
5% slower still, o.k. - but therefor the "?" after solved - what else
could I
do ?

The whole lock-things I tried already, they do not have much inflence on 
speed, as far as I tested.

Thanks

Martin
