In my world that's only about '22 minutes' worth of data (often out of
over 200 minutes), and that means its not always possible to break it

You may also want to look at the hashing function for name mangling,
depending on the clients requirement turning off the mangling all
together.

Disabling 8.3 name generation in NTFS can speed it up for instance
