Dear Mike, dear John,
it looks like SPM is not catching some of the issues described here while reading the data:

I don't have any hands-on expertise with recent samba versions, but this document might give you some ideas where to look for in changes of behaviour of the server or network side. Although I do agree that reading and especially writing portions of files is much faster on local storage than on any network filesystem, there are good reasons to stick to network storage.
Best,
Volkmar
