FreeBSD SAMBA file server performance - strange behaviour

[Nenad Mihajlovic]

I found it.

I'll try it out, and see what we get.
Interesting thing is, that i went again to verify the finds that i  
wrote in my letter, and it is not the ping itself that increases  
performance, but the fact of multiple connections - while pinging from  
console (ping -f), the behaviour stays the same, 5-13 Mb/sec varying,  
when i log in through ssh and do the ping -f , it seems to me that the  
fact of the second _active_ connection actually improves the things.
