samba - Jul 2006 - performance problems

My samba print server joined sucessfully to ADS domain is very slow. 100%
CPU usage.

I did a strace in smbd process:

# strace -p 4519 -cfqrT
% time     seconds  usecs/call     calls    errors syscall

The fcntl64 system call is taking a lot of CPU time. What did that mean?
Somebody could help me? I'm almost getting desperate... also 10.000 users.

Here it go:
Samba Version 3.0.22

        deadtime = 5
        keepalive = 30
        client schannel = no
        enable privileges = yes

        idmap uid = 1000-100000
        idmap gid = 1000-100000
        winbind cache time = 43200
        winbind use default domain = no
        winbind nested groups = yes
        winbind enum users = no
        winbind enum groups = no
        allow trusted domains = yes
        winbind separator = +

        printing = cups
        cups options = raw
        load printers = yes
        show add printer wizard = no
        printcap cache time = 0

[printers]
   comment = All Printers

   guest ok = yes
   writable = no

[print$]
   path = /samba/drivers

   writable = no
   browseable = yes


Thank you all in advance,

If you associate the fd in the strace output and the
open files in /proc/<pid>/fd, What tdb is it looking at ?

PS: I know I still owe you mail. Wil get to that later today.
