Yes but it's the machine which has a processor eight times faster that is six 
times slower, i.e. 48 times slower than expected.





Anybody any ideas.

What about Anti-Virus Software?
From some I know, that they examine every file mounted on a network 
drive. This can slow down the performance significantly.
If there's a difference between your systems, you might verify this by 
tracing the network traffic and looking, if the opened files are scanned 
backwards and forwards.

So if your net is outside the internet or your dns does't resolve norton
request the machine goes slow.

[Samba] Samba extremely slow on XP

I have a linux machine (1.4GHz) which shares filesystems to two Windows 
machines, (a) Windows 2000 (300MHz) and (b) Windows XP (2.4GHz).

The XP machine, which should be faster, is about 10 times slower than the 2000 
machine.

Anybody any ideas.

What about add: SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192 to
socket options, in GNU/Linux systems it should bring better
results to you. ;)

Also came to my mind things like DNS and WINS, which
should affect w2k and xp in different ways.

That makes perhaps a 3% improvement.
