Load is not the problem. Password level is set to 0 (the default). Also,
there is no difference between the 80 client network and the 15 client
network. Because deadtime is set to 0, the context should be kept for
subsequent accesses (I think).

Just all smb.conf settings use the default except for security = USER and
TCP_NODELAY.
