Most people spend ages trying to get Samba to go 'faster', rather than slower
- so that aspect should be easy, try looking for things like "socket options
=" in your smb.conf, and removing them (I'm hoping there not the 'default' in
newer versions :)

For FTP / TCP in general, I'm not sure theres a lot you can do... Make sure
your using the latest drivers on NT, and if possible that the card isn't on a
shared PCI IRQ etc.
