samba - Jun 2010 - Microsoft OneNote 2007 painfully slow

We have a user trying to share a OneNote 2007 notebook and it takes minutes
to load a 20 KB notebook. I've opened a 500 KB Excel spreadsheet from the
same share and it took seconds. Has anyone else run into this problem? We
are running Samba 3.4.8 on Debian Squeeze.

Thanks,

Minutes is very strange. Can you set the user's smbd
to debug level 10 and look into the timestamped log
and see where there are gaps in the timestamp record ?

That should give you a clue as to what might be going
on.

When I have run into stuff like this it is because an application is
trying to modify security permissions on the files that it doesn't have
the right to (like with creater\owner, etc.).  Given that M$ is fond of
creating temporary lock files, etc. you may want to start looking there
first.
