Slow windows (Samba) shares direcotry display

(1/1)

Cytochromec:
Using 1.052 when we navigate to a Windows share it takes a long time to display the directory. The time is proportional to the number of folders and files in the directory, so our public share folder for the school takes about 15 seconds to display contents.
This isn't happening with vanilla Ubuntu machines.

jnetman1:
Are the vanilla machines wireless?

Cytochromec:
I haven't tested a vanilla Ubuntu wireless, but I did notice that when I had netbooks running on Ubermix based on 10.04 and wireless they loaded Samba shares quickly, but 11.04 was slower.

I will grab a 12.04 vanilla Ubuntu laptop tomorrow and try that out.

Cytochromec:
Looks like it is related to network and server speed, because the shares load faster on better connections for both Ubermix and vanilla Ubuntu. Sorry for the false alarm.
