Ah, sorry, I should have been clearer. Reboot of the Vista client back
into Vista.

An XP Pro installation on the same client has no problem with performance.

Whole thing's here if you're curious:

Default, I haven't set it.

Not sure I see that setting? Default I guess.

I'm not sure these are entirely relevant to the problem, however. In my
original post I noted that the share is mapped to a drive - I appreciate
that true network browsing generally doesn't perform great so I avoid
that route by mounting the share.

By browsing performance, I just mean the speed of listing directories
and files on the mapped drive.
