Aplication slow after migration

[Felipe Martinez Hermo]

   Hi, everybody!

	I have been using samba on Debian for years on my file server and I 
have recently migrated from an 4 year-old HP DL server running sarge to 
a brand new HP DL server running etch.
	Once the new server was configured I noticed some latency on network 
shares, but I considered unimportant.

	The problem came on one or our applications. It stores its data in a 
shared folder distributed over 29000 files about 1k-40k and is so much 
slower when it runs on the new server.

	I have thoroughly revised both old and new smb.conf files, but can't 
see significant differences. I also checked network congestion, but I 
there is'nt any. It seems to me like a network latency problem, more 
than a Samba-specific issue.

I've made this rudimentary test, and old server is quite faster, but I 
don't know if it is meaningful at all or how can I tune it up.

        Old kernel is 2.6.8 and new one is 2.6.18-4-686.
        Samba version: 3.0.14a-3sarge2 vs 3.0.24-6etch4

Thanks in advance
