...which is not the case for the gazillion other systems in the world
tht are doing the very same thing, I'm afraid. So, at first, I'll
downgrade this bug's severity.
I also attach a "cleaned" version of your smb.conf (with comments
dropped and only settings that are not the default).
My first suggestion would be dropping the following, which I don't
think are really useful:
obey pam restrictions = Yes
pam password change = Yes
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*
unix password sync = Yes
syslog = 10
max log size = 1000
name resolve order = lmhosts host wins bcast
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
winbind enum users = Yes
winbind enum groups = Yes
in [homes]:
browsable = No
Particularly this "socket options" that one reads in many pages and is
considered a very bad advice by Samba Team folks (the setting comes
from Samba's stone age)
Then of course try again. It's very likely that you still experience
the slowness...In that case, put the system in log level 10:
log level = 10
And record a session where you try reading one file. The log will be
huge, of course.
Then, try going through the log and spot if there's an obvious problem
somewhere...
