If that really improves the reconnection speeds when using deadtime for
example, please include this tip in the samba documentation. Near the
sign or seal registry tips would be a good place imo.

Did anyone test the difference in connection times? At my location we
use kixart scripts to connect to 10+ shares when logging on to the smb
PDC, any tips?
