How does the performance vary with changes to samba_max_rw_block_size?  I only
took a cursory glance at the upstream code (ugh, sourceforge) but it acquires
a mutex to lock the samba context for each loop in read/write.

I could be wrong (never worked with smb code before!) but from what I can see
in the `get_ctx` function, it doesn't seem that the context needs to be shared
at all: it looks like a new context can instead be obtained for each transfer,
(not chunk) eliminating the need to lock and unlock repeatedly in a loop.
