removing samba (how to)

[shadowscotland]

is it easy - as ubuntu is killing my download speed now

Wife was downloading a program from bbc iplayer - with F@H running 40k/sec
woithout 550k/sec

never had this problem before

could be a coincidence as sufing the web was a little slower but nothing much.
I think it was a clash with the ubuntu/VM and the P2P as
the download was active for about 2h or 280mb (35-40k/sec)
but immediatly on folding stoping, the speed jumped to 200, climbing quickly to 500k/sec
on ubuntu shutdown/VM close this went upto 580-600

But I've learned a little more about the practical implications of this P2P programme - It like a whole core to it's self on startup and is not folding friendly when active in system tray (fine with standard units but not VM)

Disable it's 'shairing' options and following another reboot (to make the changes active) I'm back at 100% again. Only ever streamed tv before (with folding off)

Nothing to do with Ubuntu, Samba or Voodoo; just standard Windows behaviour.

If I'd realised the download was a cpu intensive process I'd have never posted.
I guess it more like 40x 'dial up connections' (with cpu/ram overheads) than 1x broadband connect stream that I'm used too.

If each needs about 1% - and VM was hogging 92-98% by it's self - logic say only ~3x 'dial up connections' are active

I'm still removing samba - as nopoint in uses even 1 spair cycle on someting I can't use
