[Bug 286678] [NEW] Samba transfer of multiple files very slow

[Michael Ross]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: samba

I've set the Intrepid beta up as a Samba file server. If I copy a
directory with a large (7,366) number of files (347 MB), the transfer
takes around 7 min. Using Hardy, the same transfer on the same network
to the same server was closer to 4 min. Transferring a zip file
containing the directory contents (about 300 MB - they are images so
they don't compress much), takes less than 30 seconds.

I notice that the Intrepid install (either upgrading from Hardy or from
scratch) puts a new file, "gdbcommands" in /etc/samba. Is it possible
that the package has debugging symbols or other extra debug logging
enabled and that is producing the slow behavior?
