Possibly you could make a post to fbtalk.net.

I have not had a chance to review the MS KB article to see how it is
relevant, but I am glad that it appears to have been the solution for
at least one of the posters.

Neither poster has narrowed down to the specific operations that seem
to take a while in the absense of this setting, so it would still be
interesting to know why this particular TCP/IP configuration setting
has such an effect on win2003 yet has not been an issue on prior versions.

Agreed. The yahoo message search has improved, but it is still quite
primative.
