Slow authentication in v1.3.12

[jrvk]

Hi,

we are using SpringSecurity which uses jcifs for NTLM authentication.
We've got some errors like ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and SmbException:
The parameter is incorrect, so we've decided to upgrade jcifs version in
SpringSecurity. At first we've tried version 1.2.25
(ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException  FIX) and it was fine then we've tried
1.3.12(SmbException: The parameter is incorrect FIX) and NTLM authorization
is very slow now. As you can see from logs there are three 6 seconds gaps in
v1.3.12 and only one in v1.2.25. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

v1.2.25 configuration and log:
