I have a FreeBSD 2.2.8 Release system running on a Pentium 100 with 
16MB RAM that is used as a Samba server on my home network.  I am 
using the FreeBSD system to store large files (approx 5-6MB mp3 
files) that I am creating on my Win 95 system.  When I copy the 
files from my 95 system to the FreeBSD box, the time to transfer each 
is approximately 10-15 seconds, which is fine for me.  However, if I 
then attempt to copy the file back from the FreeBSD system, it takes 
at least 2-3 minutes per file. The 95 system is a P233MMX with 32MB 
of RAM.  Both computers have 4GB UDMA capable hard drives. I have 
recompiled my kernel on the FreeBSD system to add the flags to the 
hard drive controller line for faster disk access.  The 95 system has 
a D-link 200 ISA network card, and the BSD system has a 3Com 3C509 
ISA card.  The computers are connected with a 10Mbit D-link hub.

Does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong?

Here are the important lines from dmesg:
