No webmin, no swat, just trusty old Nano and Geany

Thinking the Microsoft way, hmm, did you mean to 'chmod -R 777 /*' the box?

I have found some questions with exact my problem looking through Google-space, but found only questions, no answers. Tried a few small tweaks to no avail. The socket options tweak has also no measurable impact. At least, I get a relatively steady ~1.8MB/s through with syslog whining exactly every 30 seconds. Makes pulling a 40GB file for back-up a bit of a time-hog...
Here is the [global] part of my smb-conf. Maybe, I am just blind not to see an obvious glitch
