After much delay it was discovered that Client Side Preferences (CSP) history
had reached such a size as to impact performance in a large way. Issue was
isolated to winlogon.exe take 1 core or more to 100% util. MS had us apply
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974266 which didn't seem to fix the issue
(moves CSP processing to background vs. foreground). Further digging found that
winlogon.exe was very busy enumerating C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Group Policy\History\ folder contents.
Affected servers had 5,000 to 6,000 folders and 2,000 to 3,000 files that got
accessed everytime a refresh happened. Simply renaming the history folder
forced it to rebuild to less than 200 files and 500 folders. This resolved the
issue and from posts I have seen cleaning up this folder on a schedule is the
long term fix to this as it will only balloon again over time.

Yes quite certain. Especially when you consider I get the issue with a LAN
attached client.
I did run across this KB http://support.microsoft.com/kb/324446 and I did
confirm I can get the issue in RDP as well as ICA sessions. The term servers
use a file server to store redirected My Docs, roaming profiles, and Desktop.
The issue was noticed after we added redirected Desktops. My unproven hunch is
our file server is what is causing the freeze ups and hopefully making the
lanmanserver changes recommended in the KB article on our term and file servers
resolve the issue.

Almost sounds like a network problem. Do you have enough bandwidth to
support both the user traffic and what the applications are consuming?
