Last time I tested, you could just do:
net use h: \\sambasrvr\account\subdir
I think I tested under Windows 2000. I'm not sure if this is possibly
with other versions of Windows, but I guess it is.

You might be able to do some performance tweaking on the samba server
side, this link might be useful:

For performance tweaking on the client side, I guess you should consult
some Windows documentation ;)
Upgrading to samba 2.2.* instead of 2.0.* might help too.
