Slow Netatalk on SE/30

After a day's work, I've successfully loaded Debian Linux onto an SE/30; hope to make it a good web and appleshare file server. Apache is up and running and so is Netatalk. I have a little experience installing and using Linux but I'm maybe an 'advanced' beginner.
The problem is that file transfers to and from a mounted folder are extremely slow, with the SE/30 seemingly timing out. On a two meg file transfer, part of it will go very fast, then there may be a pause for 10 or more seconds, sometimes another pause, and finally the file transfer is completed. I am trying to figure out if this is a netatalk problem or the processor power is being sucked up by other running processes. Maybe the 030 processor is just too slow to run Linux for these purposes? 

Here's the output from a ps ax command:
