This is simply bullshit.

This thread is about performance. You are talking about function. 
That's why you are off thread.

Go and create a new thread.


MS networks are case insensitive. That's why you are wrong.

Go figure.


If you are talking about Samba: Samba indeed can be misconfigured to 
be case sensitive. BTW: If you are talking about Samba you are off 
topic.

Go away.
