[Samba] Write performance of Win XP Pro sp2 Samba
I have a file testing program that creates, writes and indexes a file on the server from the Windows client. On xpp sp1 the program takes 7 sec to write file and 8 sec to read the indexed file. After telling the Firewall to go away I can get the following numbers from xpp sp2; 29..30..45 (tested multiple times) sec to write the file and 7..8 sec to read the file. Any ideas on why the 'best' performance of sp2 is 4+ times worse than Windows XP Pro SP1? I really don't want to ship a system with this type of performance degradation. As a side note; initally the file write performance was in the 120 sec range, 17 times longer!! Why hasn't this been reported and/or what is strange about my systems? ps. the Client hardware AMD1800+ is identical on the SP1 and SP2 machines. Any help on this would be very appreciated.

[Samba] write performance of Win xpp sp2
Gentlemen, I have noticed (!) an unbelievable drop in performance with Windows xp pro sp2 systems, compared to sp1. The performance I have noticed is 122 seconds to write 65,000 indexed records to a dBase type file under sp2 and the same job in sp1 is 7 seconds!! I can't believe that this is a 'normal' feature of Windows sp2 software when working with Samba. Is it possible that Microsoft has made changes that make Samba under Linux totaly uncompetitive. ps. the performance drop is still there using the 'copy' command from the command prompt. The file in question is 8.1 Meg, large but not unreasonable. ANY help would be appreciated.
