If you're "my documents", Desktop and etc are hosted on a RAID (I've seen these on a 4 drive RAID 5 for 1000 people.....) then the speed of that RAID and the fabric to it tend to be massive bottlenecks. I remember my Uni was hosting all the Desktops for every student on a single 8 bay raid that was connected to the network by a single GbE connection. Was not pretty, and 15 minute login times where not fun.
