Fix the filesystem so that large directories are efficient. XFS is better in this respect I believe. Don't give me these doomsday scenarios, if the customers think Windows does this better, good luck to them there's nothing Samba can do in this respect. We have to stat/read the file as it's what explorer is asking for. Just tell them to keep their anti-virus software up to date.....
