We had this problem too in a lab setting.  The issue for us was large My
Documents, Application Data, and Desktop directories.  You said your
profile is 800k -- is that the NTUSER.DAT registry hive or does that
including all the folders that roam as well?  My guess is that the roaming
special folders are quite large.  If this is the case, let me know and I
can give you some pointers on some ways to speed things up.
