Hmmm.
Do you remember how long the actual mapping process took?
My guess is that it also took a while and then it was quick after that.
This suggests to me that what you have is an authentication delay.
Mapped drives authenticate once (when you map them).
Other things (like browsing and using UNC paths) tend to re-authenticate
every time you look at them.
Note, that once you've authenticated to a server with a mapped drive,
everything to do with that server will most likely get quicker too. Until
you un-mapp the drive.
So look over the autehntication (LDAP, smbpasswd, Domain Member etc, etc) in
your setup.
Just a hunch,

I concur. Also, I've deleted the previous emails from this thread, but
a copy of your smb.conf would help at this point. I still have a strong
suspicious of a name resolution/browsing related problem as well which
is slowing this down.
