smb can be VERY slow with many small files, totally killing
its average speed.
Try testing with a smb with just a few very big files to
check the speed.
You may also need some optimization, in a GB network is
recommended to enable jumbo frames... and samba might need the
some tuned up linux settings:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536
deadtime = 15
add the IPTOS_LOWDELAY if you have many small files, it decrease
delay (helps on the small files), but also decrease throughput, so (bad
for the big ones)
Good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
