It is slow. With even cat5e cables you should be getting speeds in Mbps. Usually I copy the data from linux to windows by just mounting the shares and get speeds of around 3mbps.
You could look into your network for any issues and clues.

I checked that speed with copying with total commander. some 70mb takes 20-30 seconds to be copied from xp to linux.
I have cat5e ehternet cables and a regular home router. so it may now be only samba problem,? maybe cables?
I have only 2 cables , one to routeur n xp, and one to routeur and linux. 2 + 2 meters
This should not be anything to do with samba. It will just help you share the linux files with windows. This has to do with the hardware according to me. May be the cables? May be the ethernet cards? Or anything else that you could be missing?

I have such type of router actually. ahhh and one cable of 5-10meters not 2 meters. maybe i should buy better cable quality.
The xp is very good, it s a lenovo, but the linux, it is plugged to the mother board an asus card
