Hi Ori,

JCIFS already multiplexes requests over the same transport if the
transport target data is the same, over the same session if the
credentials are the same and over the same tree if the share is the
same. So AFAIK this aspect of performance is already optimized.

I recently tested the performance of JCIFS (because we significantly
changed the transport locking code) by crawling over the C$ share of a
Windows 2003 server and IIRC it consistently touched every file on the
machine in under 5 seconds (after the disk cache on the server got
hot). If you're not seeing performance like that, then you have a
different problem. Crank up logging and look for errors or timeouts.
