What is faster, Samba Server for eCS (OS/2), IBM Peer, LAN Server or WarpServer for eBusiness?
The Samba Server provides a much better performance than all the older IBM products on a given hardware. The Samba Client is slower than the IBM LAN Requester. Speedwise the order of possible combination is the following: • Samba Server plus IBM LAN Requester (fastest) • Samba Server plus Samba Client • IBM Peer/LAN Server/WSeB plus IBM LAN Requester (slowest) Note: The combination IBM Peer/LAN Server/WSeB plus Samba Client is untested. It is probably the slowest and least stable combination anyway. Note: Recent experiments showed that Samba Server for eCS(OS/2) behaves extremely asymmetric when it comes to compare read and write speeds. While read speed is very fast (typically 16.000 to 26.000 KB/sec.), write speed is very slow (typically 150 KB/sec.). The problem is the very same that directly leads to Ticket #69 and Ticket #71. This problem has existed for every Samba build (tested back to version 3.0.25pre1). With Revision 170 Samba now writes with speeds of around 11.000 Kb/sec.
