samba file deletes slow

[Benedict Verheyen <linux4bene@telenet.be>]

Hi,

i'm using Samba 3.0.20b-2 0 and i have problems deleting bigger files
(>10mb) from a windows xp machine on a share on my Linux server.
Before i upgraded Samba this wasn't a problem and it worked.

When trying to delete such a file, now the explorer is going inactive.
Earlier, it would just popup a question to confirm deletion.
If i wait long enough and the files aren't to big, i still get the
delete confirmation messages so the problem seems to be that the read of
the file/permissions goes slow?

I use this method to move backups from the Linux server to burn them on
CD. Anyway, to find out what the problem is, i tried mounting the
partition on XP where i store the backups.
This went ok BUT the copy was extremely slow. It would only allow a
couple of KB's per second !
The reverse way (XP to Linux share) went ok but here the same problem,
if i wanted to delete the file after the copy to Linux, i just got the
hourglass and nothing happened. This was not on the backup folder but on
my home folder so it can't be a permissions problem.

What could be wrong?

This is my samba config
