samba - Jul 2004 - Roaming Profiles

Hi, i'm using samba 3.0.5 and the roaming profiles take ages to save and 
to load i just created a user, and it creates the proper windows files 
in the profiles share
The files are very small so i should be a quick login, but it ins't
Copying files from normal shares is quick, but the login it self is very 
long
What to do?
I'm using windows 2k with all windows updates
here is my smb.conf
[global]

Firstly, how large are the profiles that take so long to load? ie: what is the 
size of the profiles on your UNIX file system?

Secondly, what is the output of running: testparm

Thirdly, since you have configured your Samba server to be a WINS server, do 
all Windows clients use it? ie: Have you configured all clients so that the 
WINS address is the IP address of your Samba server?
