    So I managed to set up a Debian Woody box with Tomcat + Scarab,
    Apache + Subversion, winbind authentication, Mailman, and a few other
    goodies. I thought that everything was fine, until I tried to move the
    existing Subversion repository over to the new system via SMB. I then
    found that files larger than 64k would transfer at pitiful rates --
    essentially, chunks (64k or smaller) of the files would float over with
    gaps of many seconds between them. At first I thought the problem was
    essentially a Samba problem, but I achieved similar (lack of) results
    with FTP and HTTP. This behavior is limited to the local network; file
    transfer from the Internet moves at a good clip. Additionally, pulling a
    file from the Linux box to another computer on the network works just
    fine.

    Now I'm at a loss for what's going on, and Linux system administration
    isn't at all my specialty. I've looked all over the Internet, and only
    found one message thread noting similar behavior: gaps in transmission
    from the Linux box to Win2k, but good receive behavior. The resolution:
    it went away by itself! Anybody have a clue? The thing is essentially
    unusable as it is!

    Relevant (?) specs:
    Dell Precision 420 - Dual 800MHz P3, 512MB RAM
    Integrated 3com 3c920 (3c905C compatible, according to the Dell site)
    Kernel: 2.6.5.1 (I started out with 2.4.19; switching was an act of
                     desperation).

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
