Same here. This is a really irritationg issue. I have tried EVERY fix
found on the lists/archives/google to no avail. The problem occurs under
Win2000 and XP. This is regardless of connection type. Even connecting
remote to a linux server (dual opteron 2G+ RAM) the windows side takes
FOREVER. Doing it locally also makes no difference. This is on machines
with 2.2G+ processors (both intel and AMD), 1G+ RAM, 250G+ Storage.

I even tried using a RAID locally with 2000 server to no avail. I've
tried multiprocessors, Gigabit Networking... you name it, I've tried it.

It seems like it's loading indices but I can't seem to track it down.
