Hate to reply to my own reply.  But there is a nice discussion on
comp.protocols.smb about this very issue.  aparently, this is an issue with
2.0.5a on FreeBSD 3.x, and there are several possible solutions.

The thread name is: Samba 2.0.5 on FreeBSD 3.1-RELEASE - very very slo 

I was using deja.news and the url to that thread is 
http://x32.deja.com/viewthread.xp?thitnum=20&mhitnum=0&toffset=0&CONTEXT=935
077409.354549772&frpage=threadmsg_if.xp&back=comp.protocols.smb&rok=1

I hope some of this stuff helps, I'm going to try it after work tonight.

-Chris
