There is a new parameter in Samba 4.2 which is supposed to improve tdb (and ldb?) performance (under load?). Quoting the 4.2 release notes:

==============================================================================
The tdb library, our core mechanism to store Samba-specific data on disk and
share it between processes, has been improved to support process shared robust
mutexes on Linux. These mutexes are available on Linux and Solaris and
significantly reduce the overhead involved with tdb. To enable mutexes for
tdb, set

dbwrap_tdb_mutexes:* = yes

in the [global] section of your smb.conf.
==============================================================================

We should check if this parameter provides a significant increase in performance (and if it results in a stable operation).
