Fw: FreeBSD smbfs horribly slow

[Mario Lobo]

Hi;

It seems no one in @questions had any info/pointers/interest on this
so I'm trying @hackers for some light.

Thanks,

Subject: FreeBSD smbfs horribly slow

Googling on this subject, I found:

I am on 10.2-STABLE and using FreeBSD as a client to any amb share
continues to be very slow.

The share is mounted through mount_smbfs. I tried smbnetfs (fuse) and
it is just a tiny bit better but doesn't compare to other clients
(linux or win) when writing/reading files

It gets even worse if an application is doing operations with variable
size records inside a data file on the share.

Does anyone have any advice to improve this?

Thanks,
