I have exactly the same problem. Here are some details about my setup:
- running netatlk 1.3.3 on one linux 2.0.29 box and 1.4b2 on another.
Copying files is equally slow to either.
- of the three macs on our net, only one of them has slow access to
netatalk and the other two work fine. All three are powermacs running
System 7.6.1 and Open Transport 1.1.2 over built-in ethernet.
- copying many very small files goes quickly, while even a single large
file (say > 64K) gets bogged down terribly.
- using Fetch 3.0.3 to transfer my test files via FTP, I get about 600,000
bytes/sec, or about 60 times faster than netatalk.
- Installing and removing SpeedDoubler 2.0.3 has no effect on the problem.
- The problem occurs with either AppleShare workstation version 3.6.4 or 3.6.5.
Any ideas?
