Bug Description
Example:
I use Virtualbox and mount a .vdi on an SMB server. Using gvfsd-smb (browsing within Gnome to find the share), gvfsd-smb uses up to 50% CPU which slows down the entire system when accessing the network share. Mounting using sudo ($ sudo mount -t smbfs -o guest,nounix,noperm //server/share /media/share) so that cifs is used uses around 8% CPU. The difference is dramatic!
If I didn't have sudo access my machine would grind to a halt when trying to use the remote share.
