Samba - CPU and memory usage - Proposed solution(?)

They've been optional in Samba3 for a while (via the "mangled names"
boolean option). Unfortunately disabling them is really just a
benchmark hack for now, as the few users of them are quite
important. Making cmd.exe not work on a WinXP client would be a pretty
serious functionality loss :-)
