XFree speed problems with W2k

Hi,

I read serveral mailings about speed problems, but none seem to solve my 
problem.
In our network we have a Linux box (RH7,1) configured for xdm. Xwin 
runs fine on the Win98 and WinNT boxes, but it's very slow on W2k.

I use this script for starting Xwin:

SET MAKE_MODE=UNIX
SET PATH=s:\develop\unix\cygwin\bin;s:\develop\unix\cygwin\usr\bin;s:\develop\unix\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin;%windir%\system32;%windir%\command
mount -f s:/develop/unix/cygwin /
mount -f "%tmp%" /tmp
SET DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
SET HOME=z:\
XWin -query 192.168.1.200 -nowinkill -unixkill -once -fp tcp/192.168.1.200:7100

On W2k it takes minutes to get de xdm login screen, while eating a lot of 
CPU time. Everyting you do from then is slow and CPU expensive.
The W2k boxes have SP2 installed.
Another strange thing is the contents of xwin.log, it only contains two 
lines:
ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 1024 h 768

On win98 I see a lot more:
ddxProcessArgument () - Initializing default screens
winInitializeDefaultScreens () - w 1024 h 768
ddxProcessArgument () - screen - argc: 16 i: 3
_XSERVTransmkdir: Owner of /tmp/.X11-unix should be set to root
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Windows 95/98/Me
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw installed
winDetectSupportedEngines () - DirectDraw4 installed
winDetectSupportedEngines () - Returning, supported engines 00000017
winSetEngine () - Using user's preference: 1
winAdjustVideoModeShadowGDI () - Using Windows display depth of 16 bits 
per pixel
winAdjustForAutoHide - Original WorkArea: 0 0 740 1024
winAdjustForAutoHide - Adjusted WorkArea: 0 0 740 1024
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () - WindowClient w 1018 h 715 r 1018 l 0 
b 715 t 0
winCreateBoundingWindowWindowed () -  Returning
winInitVisualsGDI () - Masks 0000f800 000007e0 0000001f BPRGB 6 d 16
winLayerCreate () - dwDepth 16
winRandRInit ()
winCreateDefColormap () - Deferring to fbCreateDefColormap ()
winScreenInit () - returning
 
Any ideas?
