Hi Len,

It's probably the usual source - large, non-stream files in the share 
directory (on an ODS-2 volume).  In some cases CIFS has to read the entire 
file just to determine the "Windows" size.  If you have v1.2, much of the 
gory details are in the admin guide (chapter 12), including how to improve 
performance.

If that aint it, can you provide some specifics like version, what 
operations you're attempting, etc.?
