[wplug] samba & large file transfer = slow computer?

[Michael P. O'Connor]

I have a problem that when I start to transfer any larger sized file
(over 1GB) over my network via the smb protocol to the linux box, my
computer gets an odd behaviored, it will work fine for about 20 seconds
then for the next minute it will go slow, then reset to the 20 second 
and 1 minutes.  does any one know  what is causing this and how to fix
this problem,  and when I say slow I mean that the computer is pretty
much frozen at that time, so I don't get much work done on it when it is
like that.  When I transfer from it is not a problem.
