I remember reading on this forum a number of times that SAMBA was
much faster at serving files to MS Windows type machines than NFS.

Did I remember that backwards?

I converted a client machine of mine from PCDOS 6.3/MS Windows3.1/NFS (or XFS)
to MSDOS 6.22/MS Windows95/SAMBA.

And I can say that for the exact same equipment trying to transfer
the same 700MBs of data, the latter setup is astronomically
slower than the former.

So whats the deal?
