I didn't find it till someone else suggested this fix. When I searched with that question in mind I found it. oplocks should be a positive influence on access - but not multiple usage access. They work for one opener of a file. However, if clients work correctly they shouldn't have any detrimental effect for multiple openers, but if you found a fix that works, I'm just happy :-).
