does the user have a lot of mounted drives on networked
machines? these can really slow you down. Also look for
spyware/malware/excessive startup programs and the like.
Finally, roaming accounts means massive data transfer for
poorly arranged systems. Move big files off the desktop,
mycrap folders, etc into a un-transferred network visible
location. Remember outlook makes large files and email
transfers too.
