[cobalt-users] Qube2 - Why is samba so slow with many files in one directory?

[Malcolm McLeary <mim@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Guys,

Why is samba on a Qube2 so slow with many files in one directory?

In fact it is much slower than a Win98SE workstation sharing a directory 
to peers.

I have searched the mail archives on samba.org ... the question is asked 
alot, but not really answered.

Does anyone know if there is a way to make it work faster or is the only 
solution to reorganise the data so that there aren't lots of files in one 
directory?

Cheers,  Malcolm
