Debian Quadcore with 150 mount.cifs going extremely slow on commands like 'ls'

Hello,

I've mounted a kind of proxy to map some cifs folders, 150 aprox. It umounts and mounts everything each hour, to check on changes on a configfile managed by a secretary, she just edits a file with names and I prepared a cron to notice the new mountpoints.

It's a debian, no desktop , no nothing else. Just mount.cifs and apache2 to let the master webpage access to some files on each user samba home.

The server has 4 cores and 2Gb of RAM. It's brand new, but it goes very slow.

Code:

fbmpersonal01:/home/admmarc# uptime

 13:29:15 up 20 days, 23:09,  1 user,  load average: 0.77, 0.46, 0.62

fbmpersonal01:/home/admmarc# free

            total      used      free    shared    buffers    cached

Mem:      2076312    1915804    160508          0    279440    1329256

-/+ buffers/cache:    307108    1769204

Swap:      489940        580    489360

fbmpersonal01:/home/admmarc#

Does anyone have an idea why is that working so slow? The apache is working well, it's the shell which is working extremelly slow.

Many thanks

How about using NFS instead?

The files must be opened from windows-desktop and from this linux machine. Without a NAS only one of them can work on native mode. ^_^

There is any metrics which I can use to get a conclusion?
