io_uring has been a game-changer for Samba IO speed.

Check out Stefan Metzmacher's talk at SambaXP 2021 (online event) for details:

The performance comparisons start here https://youtu.be/eYxp8yJHpik?t=1421

Looks like the bandwidth went from 3.8 GB/s to 22 GB/s, with the client being the bottleneck.

Oh, trust me… that Go issue is top of mind for me. I have the fifth comment on that issue, along with several other comments in there, and I’d love to implement it… I’m just not familiar enough with working on Go runtime internals, and motivation for volunteer work is sometimes hard to come by for the past couple of years.

Maybe someday I’ll get it done :)

Haha nice, I just noticed that :) I think supporting someone else to help work on it and even just offering to help test and review a PR is a great and useful thing to do.
