On a large network, there will almost always be multiple domain 
controllers (often with WINS installed) and due to higher votes, these 
will tend to win subnet and domain master browser elections, giving 
stability.

On small networks, there won't tend to be server versions of Windows, 
just desktop versions, and possibly samba on NASes, and machines will be 
"off" more of the time,therefore you don't get a stable master browser 
hence unreliable NETBIOS name resolution, machines end-up trying broadcasts
