[Samba] Roaming Profiles Load Very Slowly

[Greg Koch]

I have checked the samba logs, and I don't see any errors.  I have no 
problems reading files once logged in, or if I mount the shares through 
linux or macos, or even if I connect to the shares from a computer 
outside the domain.  I can resolve the computers NetBIOS name (power).  
See some of my log below (chris is the machine, gregory is the username 
I've tested with).  I have also tried changing the NTUSER.dat file to 
set it to read files directly from the server, but no luck there either, 
it still takes a LONG time to login (see other subthread of this 
conversation: https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2008-May/140933.html)
