Tried this some time ago and the performance was pretty poor. Spends a significant amount of time authenticating and not a lot of time on servicing files which is BTW the major issue with the approach that you describe, each request for a resource requires an authentication request (whether or not authentication is actually required). It is an extremely inefficient way of doing things. If you have a very small legacy workgroup it may be useful but it essentially does the same thing as cifs but slower.
They may have improved things since...
fusesmb I have found my solution (now just to get KDE and Gnome to play along en use this instead of its own impl). It works beautifully. Is slower because of auth everytime you go to new share, but its negligible and far outweigh it usefulness for adhoc sharing.
