Public bug reported:
I have a freshly installed Gutsy Gibon, and I have tested FTP
performances (from a Debian/GNU Etch server) getting consistently near
48 MB/s (48.66, 48.23, 48.04 and 48.52 MB/s) writing in /dev/shm and
with a 351 MB file. But, when I test Samba performance por the same file
in the same server, I get a consistent performance of near 13 MB/s. Even
more extrange is that, when I do two parallel Samba downloads for the
same file, I get two downloads of 13 MB/s (~26 MB/s). If I check with
three files of 100 MB, the downloads boast a speed ~36 MB/s for the
three downloads. With four files, the performance is ~40 MB/s (near FTP
performance).
My NIC card is a RTL8169:

Ethernet (rev 10)
