just a dumb question: shouldn't we better (for synchronous unix reads) convert the fd into a FILE* (cache those FILEs for a few streams, or all of them ?) and let libc do the buffering on file reading/writing ?
I quess *something* should be done. I was (and still is) a newbie to wine source, so I solved this (wanted to be able to play wzebra ;-) out this way. I needed only to change file.c and a few prototypes on smb.h. I wish somebody (maybe you?) who knows more and has more time could take this job...
I think the main problem is (btw.. for most applications, there is no problem..) that unix files are opened and closed for every, even small ReadFile(). Doesn't it flush all buffers?

No, the problem is most likely that we have to do a round-trip to the wine server for each read. Fixing that is not trivial at all, and since it doesn't really impact most applications it's not a big priority.
