Also, I've found that roaming profiles seem to choke when you've got 
lots of very small files.  Those files are usually in local settings 
under the profile, but not always.  I had the back end running on top of 
reiserfs over gigabit, so I think the bottleneck is Windows processing 
all of them.  However, I don't have any objective data whatsoever to 
back these claims up; take them with a grain of salt. 

What kind of times are you seeing?  Is it possible you have stuff timing 
out for various reasons (permissions, broken links, name resolution, etc.)?
