SMB slow by design?
...for at least three cases I have tested:
* Windows 98 SE reading from a Samba 3.0.22 smbd
* Windows XP reading from a Samba 3.0.23d
* smbclient reading from 127.0.0.1 (3.0.23d)
According to iptraf, the average transfer rate was oscillating between
8604.60 kbps and 8654.20 kbit/s, copying a 172MiB sample file took about
5 minutes.
On the other hand, copying the file using a more simple protocol
resulted in:
$ rsync -PHSav localhost:/tmp/172m-testfile /dev/shm/
40361 kbit/s, 66 seconds total transfer time
In the win98--3.0.22 network I have observed that smbd takes a lot of
%system CPU...
