Where were you told this?

The restrictions are mostly with regards to the capacity of the machine,
and the memory for each connection.  Improvements have been made since
Samba 2.2.8a, I suggest you use the current Samba 3.0 release. 

jht has some metrics he has compiled to assist in sizing a samba server
to a particular workload.
