is strict locking necessary??

we have 13 win95 clients running vb4 and vb5 applications accessing a 
M$ Access database on our Samba share.

I got the impression that some file errors were occurring, and put 

strict locking = yes

into smb.conf

Our speed is not real good, and I would like to be faster.

Am I running a risk if I disable strict locking??

thanks for your help.
