[Samba] Friendly Reminder: Would you please comment on my findings?

[awl1]

Hello one more time,

unfortunately, one more time, another two weeks have passed without any 
reaction from neither Jeremy in person nor the Samba team/community. I 
am quite a bit astonished, disappointed and negatively surprised indeed: 
Did I do anything wrong when raising my issue with you? Everybody else 
asking questions or raising issues on this list seems to receive great 
advice, while I no longer get any reactions at all...

Is my issue (a huge performance regression when copying a large number 
of small files both from and to a share with SMB2/3 as compared to SMB1 
using a Windows 10 client) too technical/complicated (can hardly believe 
that), too hard to understand, or simply (for whatever else reasons) 
otherwise not welcome!?

Note that - as requested by Jeremy on July 14th: "Look into it some more 
(I'm a bit busy with other stuff right now)." - I think have 
successfully tracked down the performance regression to at least one 
major root cause, which is a client-side issue in SMB2/SMB3 on the 
Windows platform - see my several posts on this list dated July 15th:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-July/209750.html
https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-July/209751.html

So basically at this point this analysis seems mostly done and I am 
"only" waiting for Jeremy and/or the Samba team to look into my 
assessment and provide your feedback:

a) Do you think that my analysis as laid out in this full thread, 
particularly the posts referenced above, is valid?

b) In case you think it is, how can we proceed in terms of making 
Microsoft aware of their performance regression? As I feel that it would 
be much more likely to be successful, I would like the Samba team to 
raise this issue with your Microsoft contacts, rather than me as a 
private end customer (there's no company backing me with regards to 
this) complaining about this (which will only have a very low chance of 
success)...

Eagerly looking forward to some feedback and support from the Samba 
community...

Many thanks for your understanding and support and best regards
Andreas
