Nautilus SMB share extreme slow

[Nelson]

I have just tested this very situation myself using different methods.
Grabbing a directory listing of about 80 files on a Windows 2003 server.

1. From Windows XP - < 2 secs
2. From 'File Browser' on Ubuntu - 1 min 3 secs
3. From 'smbclient' on Ubuntu - < 2 secs

So, to answer your question, I do believe it is a Nautilus problem.

As a side note, I find it odd to see "0 items" in the status bar and the
toes wiggling away at you while it attempts to retrieve a listing.

Regards

Nelson
