samba - May 2006 - poor performance - multiuser fileserver database (ms-access)

I have a file server running with Samba  over Debian Sarge 3.1 R1.  This
File server store MDB and XLS files.  Could anybody give me an optimal
setup for my samba server (smb.conf).  Actually, the performance is very
poor.


[global]
workgroup = REVLON
netbios name = FILE_SRV
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
unix password sync = yes
socket options = IPTOS_LOWDELAY TCP_NODELAY
hosts deny = ALL
hosts allow = 172.18.40. 127.0.0.1
debug level = 1
create mask = 0777
directory mask = 0775
read raw = no
write cache size = 262144
# oplocks = no
veto oplock files = /*.mdb/*.MDB/

path = /home/darjona
valid users = darjona pc08 pc18
public = no
writable = yes
printable = no
browseable = yes

Hmmm... ?mdb files? Perhaps the bottleneck is the mdb itself. Jet databases get
locked
when anyone writes them.
