When you run samba out of inetd, it means that the program is not constantly
runing; it is excuted and loaded each time the server sees traffic on it's
assigned port. This is a lot slower, as it needs to be loaded and unloaded
from memory often.
Running it standalone means that you start it once, and it stays running in
the background, listening at all times for traffic for it to service.
