Samba slow to start on bootup

[Gareth Bailey]

I stopped samba using samba.sh stop, then started it again
with samba.sh start. You are correct as far as the output
goes, only "Samba" is written to console. But Samba took 30
- 40 seconds to load! It seems Samba is actually causing
the pause.

Why would this be?

Thanks
Gareth
