I disagree. Different protocols introduce different levels of overhead.
Hence my suggestion to use netbeui which has lower overhead, at the expense
of being non-routeable (only good for a local LAN segment).

That is, if current SAMBA supports the NETBEUI protocol, which I'm not
sure. I haven' t used NETBEUI since the Samba 2.x days...
