Speed up Samba network access

Dropt these lines into your smb.conf file to speed up Samba access. Find the Global area section and paste them underneath:
read size = 65536

read prediction = true
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192

Depending on your network card and configuration, this should speed up your LAN transfers at least tenfold.
