Downloading Profiles/Policies (slow connection)

On 28-Feb-99 Brendon Meyer wrote this and I have to respond:

But, its slower.. I did the test with about 7 or 8 accounts.. 1 of them I just
created. I rm -r profiles from those users, and I deleted local profiles too on
NT.

On 1 of them the login is fast.. On the others the login is slower and that msg
about slow link appears, and on the account I just created the login is very
slow.

what could explain this?
