Yep, I would recommend when tuning Samba to not just throw a bunch of optimizations in there and expect it to work magically. It's better to test with just a few (or even 1) modification first and work from there. OpenBSD can be a little slower but the trade off for better security is worth it IMHO. If you going between Linux and OpenBSD NFS would also be an option (not without it's own tuning difficulties at times). Remember you can tune Samba but you can't tune-a-fish! -PZ
