Unfortunately an strace of the smbd process provides me with nothing
useful as I am not a samba developer. However I'll happily provide the
strace output for anyone interested :)

First off my apologies if this is the wrong place to be asking.
I seem to have a problem where the smbd process is using a massive
amount of CPU for network transfers. It averages about 70-90% usage
on both cores of a dual-core machine when transferring between disks
(or over the network) using samba/cifs shares.
Along with this I also notice the transfers going from a steady
30-40mb/sec to anywhere from 1-4MB/sec. It seems to resolve itself
then re-occur multiple times during a transfer. I have tried
tweaking buffer settings and the like with no success.
iostat shows corresponding transfer rates that match what Windows is
reporting for transfer speeds.
Any ideas where I can start looking? I've done a fair bit of
looking, but I'm not quite ready to say it's a hardware problem just
yet.
strace'ing the smbd might be a start...
