"saving your setting" takes a long time, why?

[Dave Niemeyer]

We have about 200 win2kpro ntfs machines at our school district on a win2k3
AD network. Without any rhyme or reason, some machines make some users wait
for up to 5 minutes when logging off, sitting at the screen saying "saving
your settings." It even happens to me, a network admin, at some machines,
and not at others, and other users have good results on those same machines,
but take forever to log off at others, no apparent rhyme or reason to it
that I can see. All updates applied from windows update site, all have the
exact same software load (ghosted).

Any ideas why this is happening?
