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.

Hmmmm... interesting. From my WfW 3.11 box I get roughly 320 kb/s for
both reads and writes with Samba, while when I used the DOS version of XFS
I'd get about 150 kb/s reads and 60 kb/s writes. The WfW version of XFS
that works with MSTCP32 got slightly better performance.
Based on this, I've been very happy with Samba.
What performance are you seeing?
