Slow SMB access times, general io vs SFTP

hi just wanted to x-post from 

to put it in the appropriate section, in the hopes of limetech putting priority towards fixing this bug.

I could copy / paste all the messages I wrote from the thread above but it seems needlessly redundant. In summary SMB performance on unraid sucks, is significantly worse than any other implementation by any other provider and all the tests mentioned in that thread can be repeated / are easily verifiable.

SMB to unraid on the left

SFTP to unraid on the right

I think its clear to see this isn't made up - SMB is a huge portion of a large swath of unraid users ecosystems. The SFTP workaround detailed in the thread is viable, but not nearly as desired as a native fix.
