Hi,
this is normal behavior of XP-Explorer if you have enabled 
pop-up-information for files and folders in XP,
if you open a share the first time, xp explorer looks in each directory 
and every file in the top level of the
share an counts the number of files and bytes in that dir to be able to 
give you this info on moving the mouse
over this file/dir.
if there are big dir's/files and/or a slow network, this may take long 
time...
