Hello experts: I have been using samba 3.0.25 and it has been giving decent performance with windows XP or 2003 (about 60MB/s reads). But, I just tried with vista or windows7 but the perf is pretty bad (down to 8MB/s). I even enabled the Customize->video stream option on vista/windows7 but no impact. Any ideas what could be going wrong here? Has someone seen this? Any pointers - greatly appreciated. Thanks!
