Ok I've managed to improve things a little..
If I actually mount the shares locally then it seems to "cache" the
information that takes it so long to find via "browsing"
The initial loading or listing of what is in the share still takes
_AGES_ to happen.. but once its done its pretty quick to jump around
in..

What a strange problem.. I wonder what takes it so long to list the shares?
