There is great document that accompanies samba telling you about the tunning options, the one I've found useful is to put socket options = TCP_NODELAY in your smb.conf ccd also helps you to push the performance further. We get 3.5 to 4 megabytes a second from the server per client over ATM NICs on the win95 machines and 100 meg ethernet on the server. I think that's pretty much the limit how much win95 can sustain.
