samba - May 2014 - 3.6.8 and 4.1.3 throughput compassion

Hi All,

My doubts are for Samba4.1 performance related enhancements.Following is
the comparison result samba 3.6.8 + samba4.1.3.

Following number is robocopy 2 flow result.

3.6.8
Read/Write (speed MB/sec) :  210/*202*

4.1
Read/Write: (speed MB/sec) : 220/*192*

In case of read am getting better throughput for samba 4.1 but write always
less.

How can i improve the write throughput?

Am not looking to change any registry settings .(

Following tuning i already tried.

We need to find out the reason why it's slower, and that
depends on the exact workload. One big file? Many small
files? That would make a large difference for example. Also,
strace -ttT and simultaneous network traces would help a
lot.
