That could certainly be a factor. I'll have to see if I can organise 
some tests between Windows and Linux. Certainly doesn't seem likely to 
make any difference when it comes to internet speeds - my incoming line 
is only running at about 53 mb/s. It would be interesting to see if 
there is a difference when it comes to moving files around my local 
network. I don't use Samba much, simply because most of what I need to 
move is Linux to Linux, so most of my connections are either NFS or SSHFS.
