I installed many samba servers in small-to-medium sized offices. All have
ACL's enabled and there have been no complaints about performance or
stability. Which is understandable, regarding the fact these samba servers
where mostly replacing NT or w2k fileservers on the same or equivalant
hardware.
Improved security I don't know. It does emulate windows' file permission
quite nicely though.
