MAXScript over SAMBA
We are experiencing a major time discrepancy between running a 3ds max script from a samba share versus a windows share.
From a windows share, the total time it takes for the script to run and the application to become responsive is about 1 second.
When running the same script from a samba share, the process takes around 40 seconds.
The script itself is 80KB. Copying identical files from either server yields similar times.
Output from tcpdump on the samba server shows a multitude of small (63-65 bytes) data transfers back and forth between the
client-server with the PUSH flag set in the packet. This output continues for the ~40 seconds until 3ds max becomes responsive
again.
We are running 3ds max 6.0 SP1 on Win2k and running the script by choosing 'Run Script...' from the MAXScript pulldown menu.
Samba version: 3.0.5
