Im willing to bet thats not the case on Linux. I can get great speeds (~30MB/s) using ftp between the machines, but when i use Samba, i get a maximum of 11MB/s. I have tried playing with mtu size, samba options, polling, but there does not seem to be any visible bottlenecks, its just simply slow. It would be great if someone could get to the bottom of this, its quite frustrating.
