The profiles share is important to have romaing profiles, i.e. user 
profiles get saved on the server when the user logoff the workstation, 
so it can be loaded on another machine, if the user changes workstation. 
This is the source of slow-down login/logoff: the profile must be 
transfered from and to the server.

If you disable this, obviously you loose also the feature. Disable if 
you don't need it. This share is not meant for the admin to fool around 
user's files, but to provide a feature.

Folder redirection is a mean to off-load this data transit between 
server x workstation, pointing potentially 'fat' folders outside the 
user profile, so they don't get touched on login/logout. Meaningless if 
you disable profiles share.
