The blocking lock and brl lock databases don't scale well in a cluster with large numbers of clients. Tridge created 4 patches here: http://git.samba.org/?p=tridge/samba.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/brl-scaling-fix which can be applied to 3.5.x. I'm going to add the patches I've applied to master to this bug report. My feeling is that these fixes are not critical for 3.5.0, as we might not want to risk destabilizing the release candidate code, but these would make a great addition to the first patch release, 3.5.1.

Is there a chance to get reviews for 3.5.4?
This whole code has been overhauled since 3.5.
