I've got vfs_cache_pressure = 100 on both servers and ext3 filesystems on both.
These are the files on /proc/sys/vm:

   Hi, everybody!

I have been using samab on Debian for years and I have recently migrated my file server from version 3.0.14a-3sarge2 to 3.0.24-6etch4. One or our applications stores its data in a shared folder. This data is distributed in over 29000 files of about 1k-40k and is so much slower when it runs on the new server.

I have thoroughly revised both smb.conf files, but can't see significant differences. I have read them so much that probably I'm already obfuscated.

I have tuned socket options, but can't see any improvement.
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

how are your settings in /proc/sys/vm/*? If you've got the RAM, turn down the vfs_cache_pressure - you should get more hits. Also, what file system are you using?
