Samba: does current linux client support asynchronous reads?

Question

In the interest of increasing performance, is it possible to read asynchronously from a CIFS mounted file, on linux?

Thanks!!!

Asychronous is not synonymous with higher performance. – Matt Ball May 15 '11 at 18:54 — Matt Ball, May 15 '11 at 18:54

Glibc's aio implementation creates threads to do the I/O, so it does not depend on the filesystem type to work. (On the other hand, that also means you can create your own threads instead, without missing out on much.)
