Improve InfoWorks read/write code

The InfoWorks application uses the SMB protocol to read/write to a file share. Transferring a 2GB file we can see network speeds of 40Mpbs during the transfer with Infoworks. Simulating the same 2GB file transfer with Windows Explorer we see file transfer speeds up to 800Mpbs, i.e. 20 times faster. A detailed WireShark trace shows InfoWorks negotiates a 4K block length for the file transfer, whereas Windows Explorer negotiates a 1MB block length, which is significantly more efficient for large file transfers. Can Innovyze tune the InfoWorks application to make better use of the latest SMB Protocols (3.1.1) tuning for large file transfers?

    There is a general "Improve database and results files read performance idea" that this idea duplicates.
