Try installing the SMBD.EXE image as /SHARED/HEADER resident. This will
both speed up the image activation time, and will also reduce the
physical/virtual memory requirements of running SAMBA.
IIRC: There is some code in SAMBA 2.0.6 that calculates a machine SID on
startup, and since VMS does not support the preferred routines, the fall
back is not very efficient. I have not checked that section of the
2.2.8 port yet to see if has that issue.
