I would expect the Linux machine to be slower than the Macintosh, mainly
because there is extra processing involved for the Linux box to convert
from Macintosh HFS semantics to Linux ext2 semantics. On top of that you
have the mapping from ".txt" to "TEXT/R*ch" for example.
In short, the Linux box has a lot more work to do in order to support
AppleShare clients.
