IIRC, someone wrote in recently saying that the sizes of SO_RCVBUF and SO_SNDBUF can have huge effects on performance, and setting them to 8192 (which used to be a good idea) can reduce performance. I suggest removing them from the socket options and measuring the performance at the defaults, then try modifying them and comparing performance. Also, TCP_NODELAY is the default, right? So maybe just comment out the socket options parameter, restart the daemons, and check to see if the problem goes away. > I was wondering if there is any documentation for fine tuning SAMBA.
