Ooc, are you using samba 2.2.1 or 2.2.2+?  There were oplock problems with the
2.2.1 release which caused eratic behavior on low-traffic systems as well as
complete lock-ups of the parent samba process on higher load boxes.  You may 
have  been seeing better performance on linux due to the presense of kernel
oplock code.  I don't think -stable has this feature.   At any rate, my 
experiences with the 2.2.x samba tree exonerated FreeBSD of being considered
the culprit.  If you are running < 2.2.2, turn off opclocks alltogether or 
upgrade to 2.2.2+.

Regards,
Stephen
