If this is between 3.2 and 3.5, nope, I haven't checked.

Good point. At this moment I've built 2.2.12, v3-0-test and master for a quick 
comparison. Without starting any of the daemons yet, a quick comparison of 
the binary size in MB (built with ./configure --prefix=$SAMBADIR/<version> 
and installed with make install):

		2.2.12		v3-0-test	master
		------		---------	------
smbd		2.1		4.3		11
nmdb		0.8		1.4		3.9	
winbindd	1.3		3.0		8.3

I'm going to assume that for a system like that, a "typical workload" will be 
five clients reading/writing files in security=user mode (most NAS boxes use 
security=share, but I'll consider that broken and use the next best).

Do we have any tools that can simulate a workload like that or do I need to 
set up some VMs for this?

Cheers,
Kai
