I concur with the bug report and want to elaborate:

The current smb kio slave is extremely inefficient in that it tries to copy a
file to a local temp directory (by default in /tmp/kde-username) before
operating on it. That is bad because:

A) it takes a long time with medium to big files, leaving usesr with no visual
feedback

B) it fills up your root partition to the point, that your system might be in
trouble

A couple of examples I experienced recently:

1) It is impossible to open a video from a smb kio slave. When you open a (big)
video file, the video player just sits there and appears to do nothing while
slowly your /tmp is filling with gigabytes of junk

B) Even opening medium-sized files feels sluggish, due to them being copied
over

C) Same thing when you want to burn files from a smb share ... they are all
copied over locally first

D) While you can select a ISO image for burning in K3B, when you start burning
it says "file not found"

So mounting the file system would be indeed the way to go, as that immediately
solves all the above problems (given that your network speed is up to your
demands, of course).
