That's a strange question. Without understanding what the
actual problem is, it's hardly possible to point to the
solution.

Take a closer look at strace.  You've already noticed
the recv() call takes a noticeable time, - find all of
them.

BTW, in your strace output you omitted some important
pieces, for example, it isn't visible what FD#5 corresponds
to, since you omitted its creation/open.

The prob might not be the (host) name resolution of smbclient,
but on the receiving side too. Or might be something else
entirely.
