I'm doing some performance tests on a samba NAS server and I've found some
interesting statistics:
I'm doing my performance tests in linux using:
# time dd if=somelargefileovershare of=/dev/null bs=1M count=100
Then calculating the bandwidth

I did some testing earlier this year to characterize performance
differences btw 2.2.8a and 3.0.2a. I tested simple copies of one .5 GB
file, and also a directory with 5000 files (with very long names
including upper and lower case). As long as I was
