mapped network drives query

Dear all

I have three computers with hard disks that are each partitioned into 4
partitions.
All the partitions are set to be shared over my peer-to-peer network.
Next I mapped the network drives on each computer, i.e. each computer has
its own 4 partitions + 8 mapped drives from the other 2 computers.
Now, when I open, e.g. MS Word, and then select 'file' -> 'new' and try to
browse to a file, I get a long pause after selecting the drop down. Is this
because I have so many drives mapped?........pretty sure everything was ok
before. I've also noticed that the computers have slowed down a lot
generally (e.g. double clicking on My Documents results in a long pause
before opening), again is this anything to do with having so many mapped
drives?
 
What OSes are the other machines running? XP can appear to be slow when
querying Windows 98, for example.
