Happy this finaly comes out of vapourware stage!

The performances should be correct. The native code (which you 
use, if I refer to you postings on kde-cvs) wasn't designed 
for maximum speed, but gives decent enough results
on local LANs.

Hmm, my guess is you're accessing a Windows in user security 
level. I couldn't test this setting furthermore with any 'recent' Windows
version for the native code.
This only way to check it is to use Samba-tng as the SMB 
back-end, and see if the problem dissappears (otherwise it's
in kio_smb itself and should be easy to correct).
See ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/alpha.
