Be sure to see Jim Duff's blog post about one type of SAMBA slow-down:

Even if you're not polling, the fact that each connection creates a new
process on the server is an important distinction from how Advanced
Server works.

Now if the slow-down you're experiencing is not in making the connection
but elsewhere (you didn't really say) then there would likely be other
reasons for it.

You also don't say what version you're using. Claims have been made
about ongoing performance work, so there is a possibility a newer
version might help.
