    Samba and very slow performance to windows xp sp2

    Hi,
    I got knoppix 3.6 installed to my hard-drive. My samba works fine and i can browse it and view files etc, but the prolem is that it's VERY slow. Files open very slow and transferring files from my linux samba to windows xp(my second computer) is very slow.
    Before this i got 3.4 knoppix installed to hard-drive and it worked just fine, but when i installed this new knoppix to hard-drive it didn't work so fast.

    Here is my config file if anybody can help me:

    [global]
    ## Browsing/Identification ###

    # Change this to the workgroup/NT-domain name your Samba server will part of
    workgroup = WORKGROUP

    # server string is the equivalent of the NT Description field
    server string = %h server (Samba %v)

    # Windows Internet Name Serving Support Section:
    # WINS Support - Tells the NMBD component of Samba to enable its WINS Server
    ; wins support = no

    # WINS Server - Tells the NMBD components of Samba to be a WINS Client
    # Note: Samba can be either a WINS Server, or a WINS Client, but NOT both
    ; wins server = w.x.y.z

    # This will prevent nmbd to search for NetBIOS names through DNS.
    dns proxy = no

    # What naming service and in what order should we use to resolve host names
    # to IP addresses
    ; name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast


    #### Debugging/Accounting ####

    # This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
    # that connects
    log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m

    # Put a capping on the size of the log files (in Kb).
    max log size = 1000

    # If you want Samba to only log through syslog then set the following
    # parameter to 'yes'.
    ; syslog only = no

    # We want Samba to log a minimum amount of information to syslog. Everything
    # should go to /var/log/samba/log.{smbd,nmbd} instead. If you want to log
    # through syslog you should set the following parameter to something higher.
    syslog = 0

    # Do something sensible when Samba crashes: mail the admin a backtrace
    panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d


    ####### Authentication #######

    # "security = user" is always a good idea. This will require a Unix account
    # in this server for every user accessing the server. See
    # /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/ServerType.html in the samba-doc
    # package for details.
    security = share

    # You may wish to use password encryption. See the section on
    # 'encrypt passwords' in the smb.conf(5) manpage before enabling.
    encrypt passwords = yes

    # If you are using encrypted passwords, Samba will need to know what
    # password database type you are using.
    passdb backend = tdbsam guest

    obey pam restrictions = yes

    ; guest account = nobody
    invalid users = root

    # This boolean parameter controls whether Samba attempts to sync the Unix
    # password with the SMB password when the encrypted SMB password in the
    # passdb is changed.
    ; unix password sync = no

    # For Unix password sync to work on a Debian GNU/Linux system, the following
    # parameters must be set (thanks to Augustin Luton <aluton@hybrigenics.fr> for
    # sending the correct chat script for the passwd program in Debian Potato).
    passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
    passwd chat = *Enter\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\sUNIX\spassword:* %n\n .

    # This boolean controls whether PAM will be used for password changes
    # when requested by an SMB client instead of the program listed in
    # 'passwd program'. The default is 'no'.
    ; pam password change = no


    ########## Printing ##########

    # If you want to automatically load your printer list rather
    # than setting them up individually then you'll need this
    ; load printers = yes

    # lpr(ng) printing. You may wish to override the location of the
    # printcap file
    ; printing = bsd
    ; printcap name = /etc/printcap

    # CUPS printing. See also the cupsaddsmb( manpage in the
    # cupsys-client package.
    ; printing = cups
    ; printcap name = cups

    # When using [print$], root is implicitly a 'printer admin', but you can
    # also give this right to other users to add drivers and set printer
    # properties
    ; printer admin = @ntadmin


    ######## File sharing ########

    # Name mangling options
    ; preserve case = yes
    ; short preserve case = yes

    # must set this to 'no'; otherwise, the default behavior is recommended.

    # for something else.)

    Now i have decreased the problem. My samba works now bit faster, but it's like this -> 15-20min fast and then 5-8min very slow and then fast again.
    So it's only slow for sometimes...
