Applying Computer Settings is Slow

[Guest]

I am running Windows XP SP2 with all the latest patches. My domain is Windows
Server 2003 SP1 with all the latest patches. A few weeks ago my logins began
slowing down considerably at the Applying Computer Settings dialog box. I
enabled verbose userenv debugging and noticed the following in the log file,
not sure how to handle this. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. I think
the delay is due to the nearly one minute delay in processing the following
lines
