Strange though perhaps....but what if you should test with file and regmon
on one server with no load?
That might help solve the case...
If you have 80 servers running, 79 of those can share the load of the 80th
one....

Maybe an network connection to a strange server?
Had this also with icons being taken from network sources....

Hope this helps
Greetings

How large is the profile being loaded?  I found once i managed to get my
profiles down to a couple of meg, "speed to start menu" dramatically
improved.
