You might want to make sure that apache is running on the samba server just to test this theory. This is a whole lot easier than going to each machine and turning it off and certainly easier to test to see if this is at least part of the problem. Also, I have had network cards that work well on some protocols and poorly on others. of course you can use ethereal to capture the packets to see what is actually transpiring. and lastly, you should go to www.google.com/linux and search for samba tuning for other tips.
