samba - Nov 2002 - UI performance awful - please help!

I've set up a Samba 2.2.5 server authenticating against an OpenLDAP 
server. Everything seems to be working, except that changing directories 
takes 15-30 seconds. I've set up nss_ldap, optimized the nscd cache and 
my LDAP server's cache and indexes, and both seem to respond instantly 
on the command line (for cache hits, anyway). If I connect with NET USE 
on a client machine, it works fine, no delays. Same with smbclient. The 
problem only seems to rear its head when using Windows Explorer. Every 
time I open a new folder in Windows Explorer, at log level 2 I can see 
anywhere from ten to thirty entries like this:

[2002/11/12 12:17:15, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
   Allowed connection from  (199.249.215.249)
[2002/11/12 12:17:16, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
   Allowed connection from  (199.249.215.249)
[2002/11/12 12:17:16, 2] lib/access.c:check_access(327)
   Allowed connection from  (199.249.215.249)

Here's my smb.conf file. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Looks like the problem I had was caused by being behind on service 
packs. The client I was testing with was Windows 2000 with no service 
packs applied (oops). Our up-to-date client machines seem to be working 
great with our Samba server.

Sorry!
