Performance shock

I am just experimenting with Ubuntu and noticed that using the local
100Mbps ethernet connection I could transer a 2GB file to Samba almost
wtice as fast as to an XP Pro file server. What is even more
interesting is that Ubuntu is running on my test PC which is a 700MHz
Pentium with 256MB ram, whereas the XP file server was on a 2.4GHz P4
with 512MB DDRAM.



The peak transfer speed was only slightly higher, but Samba was able to
"take" the entire file in one stream, whereas XP was pausing between
chunks.



Anyone else try similar?
