Well, if you are mounting shares which live on the Win95 machine, you might want to consider enabling the Win95 Bug Workaround in the kernel. If, however, you are *not* mounting shares exported by Win95 (specifically Win95), i.e., shares on an NT server or on another OS or Linux, then make sure you *don't* have the Bug Workaround enabled. I don't have Win95 anymore (Thank you God!), but still run NT, so can't really tell you how well the Workaround works.
BTW, what do you use to test the performance?
