*Samba* is not opening and closing the file that many times; 
the client side is. COMMAND.COM and cmd both process batch 
files "one line at a time"; I haven't tested this but I 
suspect cmd opens the file, reads a line, closes the file, 
executes the line.

You can check this for yourself from the Windows side with 
filemon: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/filemon.shtml
