Performance assistance please !

You mentioned in your first post that some of the tweaks were beyond your knowledge level. What tweaks have you done? Also, regarding Samba, what settings have you changed from the defaults? I've found that more than 90% of people that try to tweak their server either use settings that don't significantly impact anything(some are even defaults so they changed nothing at all) or their tweaks actually hurt performance. Tweaking the system is not for the weak. I don't recommend tweaks at all, especially if your knowledge is so limited you are referring to a forum for support. I don't even tweak my system. I keep stuff at defaults and I've never had an issue with speed except because of powerd. There was something weird with powerd and my CPU.

I have made no tweaks as I didn't feel that implementing something i didn't understand was wise. Everything is default, both from tuning and samba standpoints

Glad to hear it! That's far smarter than trying to experiment with stuff.
