Poor netatalk performance

I'm running netatalk 1.5-pre6 in a Redhat 7.1 box with a latest 2.4.6
kernel compiled. I'm able to run the netatalk ok, but the performance is
really poor. It's about 20k/sec which probably isn't normal. All other
services in the same box are running fine. I have no idea what's causing
this. I tried to create a separate Mac-only volume with no help. My box
has to NIC's and there's no AppleTalk router in the network. And also i'm
getting these weird permission errors in my log:

afpd[5443]: setdirowner: chown 16777216/-1 .: Operation not permitted

Here's the startup log of netatalk:

atalkd[5429]: restart (1.5pre6)
atalkd[5429]: zip_getnetinfo for eth0
last message repeated 2 times
atalkd[5429]: as_timer multiple interfaces, no seed
atalkd[5429]: as_timer can't configure eth0
atalkd[5429]: as_timer waiting for router
atalkd[5429]: ready 0/0/0
atalk: atalkd startup succeeded
atalk: afpd startup succeeded
afpd[5436]: Can't register Pingviini:AFPServer@*
afpd[5436]: ASIP started on 192.168.0.1:548(0) (1.
afpd[5436]: uam: uams_randnum.so loaded
afpd[5436]: uam: "2-Way Randnum exchange" available
afpd[5436]: uam: "Randnum exchange" available

If anyone could help I would be more than happy. I'm middle of a little
crisis here since a harddrive of an important volume set got lost on a NT4
Server and therefore we're migrating to a Linux/netatalk-solution.
