SMBmount/CIFSmount work every bit as fast, and since I always needed them anyway, why bother coordinating all the UID/GIDs for what was basically a very insecure system anyway...
I'm curious -- what do you have to coordinate? Don't you have LDAP/NIS/whatever-based netwide authentication with central account creation (i.e., centrally managed accounts with common uids?) For most SMB or SOHO installations that should suffice and delivers netwide UIDs/GIDs as a side-effect. Your problem comes up mostly in large installations, when account creation is delegated to different departments or two companies merge. Or in very small installations that don't use LDAP -- but then, I'd use it for any network with > 2 systems. Well, maybe even for a network with 2 systems...
