I disabled the WebClient service on all machines - sadly, it didn't help much. I can't say whether the really long delays are still there, but users have reported to me that they still have to wait seven to 15 seconds to open a file in Freehand, Excel or Word. This still happens on the XP clients only - the Win98SE machines run fine.
