You should have better success with another 128MB of RAM..
Case point I have one also a P3 450 256MB RAM CentOS 5.4 here at home using samba + clam av and large files make me have to hard mount the directory to paste to the server. I run no GUI either on it so you may want to get rid of X and Gnome. Mine I run in, run level 3 so no gui here because it was painfully slow.
I had some time this weekend to check this out. I found another 128 MB RAM, put it into the server (and tested it OK). I took the server to my office and connected it directly to the main switch, to rule out networking bottlenecks.
I opened up 'top' on the server and switched to memory display (Shift-O, O, Enter).
On my desktop PC I transferred a bunch of files, and memory usage instantly went from around 110 MB to 250 MB, and then it began to swap and left the transfer with a steady 4800 k/s stream.
So I guess it was effectively a problem of missing RAM.
Cheers,
Niki
--- Yea although CentOS 5 can be ran with 128 I promise you want be happy with it. I think in my initial post to you I neglected to include I have clamav-samba running also. All my media files I had to confiigure the cifs shares for clam-av to not scan them. i do come to find out I have a lil more than 256MB of ram but not by much. I do have every service I do not need cut off. Also mine swaps also. You should get better spped than what your getting. I can't get no more than 10MB/s. My smb global config may help some.
