How do I setup SAMBA to get the best performance with OOo?
[Here is what Xavier Poirier did to improve performance of OOo clients running from a SAMBA share]: We have an installation of OOo1.1 on a network with a SAMBA share (for the clients) – a 10M network, so not the fastest. For SAMBA I have found this (thanks to O’REILLY Online Catalog): [Appendix B] B.2 Samba Tuning. Tuning options used: We have a share with READONLY mode (which is 5-10% faster for OOo). Put OPLOCKS “ON”: this permits the client to “cache” the files. Put LOGLEVEL to “1” instead of “0” by defaut. Put BLOCSIZE to 2048 instead of 1024. Later I will try others, (like IPTOS_LOWDELAY) if anyone tries it, I’m interested … The clients: for better performance, it seems that they must run the quickstarter of OOo: soffice.exe -quickstart. The result is GOOD! The clients are much faster for opening OOo! We won about 30-40% performance I think with these parameters.
