Do these lag times vary wildly, or are they fairly
consistent? Is it only when you first connect? If
not, what actions tend to trigger the lag
(connection, file writes, but not file reads, etc)?
How is samba handling authentication? security = user?
security = domain? ads? How is network traffic
otherwise (ftp, etc)?
Since it's test, I'd stop the "normal" smbd service and
fire up smbd -i -d 2. Then connect with your client and
see what's happening before these delays. If nothing
useful shows up, you can try -d 3, and so on. Anything
above -d 5 will probably not help you for this problem.
If no luck, then strace the smbd -i and watch for timeouts.
