First and always: check the logs, here in especial the samba logs in
/var/log/samba/. It that helps not much then run a tool like tcpdump. It
will certainly show you what goes on.

This slow speed is not normal. It may be collisions with other protocols
like IPX (I had that once within a mixed Netware and Microsoft net).
Check ifconfig too if there are some unusual data like errors.
