Poor Samba throughput on 6.0 RC1

[Joao Barros]

I've this PIII 733MHz running 6.0 RC1 with a GENERIC kernel which I
can only squeeze out 5.5MB/s via a Samba share, reading or writing.
The share was from a RAID 5 volume and to eliminate possibilities, I
tried adding an IDE drive having the same results.
SCP throughput is about 1MB/s
I tried adding this to Samba configuration resulting in no improvement.
top and systat show nothing more than a 0.2 load with a 70% idle cpu
when doing a file copy at about 5MB/s

Strangely, the IDE, the boot disk which is a 9GB SCSI-2 and the RAID 5
volume all give about the same speed with a simple dd speed test:

AMR# dd bs=1M if=/dev/amrd0 of=/dev/null count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 36.400622 secs (28806541 bytes/sec)
AMR# dd bs=1M if=/dev/ad0 of=/dev/null count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 35.180386 secs (29805699 bytes/sec)
AMR# dd bs=1M if=/dev/da0 of=/dev/null count=1000
1000+0 records in
1000+0 records out
1048576000 bytes transferred in 37.693338 secs (27818603 bytes/sec)

This machine should be able to max out the network interface. What can
I check to find out the limiting factor?
