I have an end user reporting extremely slow file transfer times from a NAS device to a Unix server on the same subnet, in the same VLAN, and on the same switch. I want to know if the "valid frames, too small" counter as shown below is a reason for concern and could be causing these very slow transfer rates.

Hi,
It cannot be a problem just check out the below things connected ports of the server are having full duplex and speed 100 Mbps setting in the switch and also check the MTU size configured in NAS end and if possible paste the show buffers stats of the switch.
Hope to Help !!

Whatever is connected to Gi 1/0/5 could be causing the problem. It means that the host is sending packets with window size set with a low (or very low) value. This would cause the host to send more packets across and straining the CPU.
