[OpenAFS] extreme slowness on windows client

[David Bear]

I have recently noted on two separate windows XP system (with sp2
installed and openafs 1.4.xxx current stable release as of yesterday)
that opening items in afs space is very slow. I googled for this and
ran across some old notes from around 2003 but didn't think they would
apply any longer.

The event logged has the following:

Event Type:    Warning
Event Source:    AFS Client
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    1005
Date:        6/26/2006
Time:        5:06:33 PM
User:        N/A
Computer:    PP-CCOFFMAN
Description:
The description for Event ID ( 1005 ) in Source ( AFS Client ) cannot
be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry
information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote
computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this
description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: Pkt straddled session startup, took
117125 ms, ncb length 81.

There was also the following event logged as well:

Event Type:    Warning
Event Source:    AFS Client
Event Category:    None
Event ID:    1009
Date:        6/26/2006
Time:        5:06:33 PM
User:        N/A
Computer:    PP-CCOFFMAN

description; see Help and Support for details. The following
information is part of the event: cm_Analyze: HardDeadTime exceeded..

Google reveals that event 1009 may be a server related error, ie the
fileserver is too busy. But I've check with our afs server
administrator and there were no load issues at all.

The really strange thing is that all I did was convert these system
from using static to dynamic ip addresses. They do not go through any
NAT or other ip mungers (that I am aware of).

Any idea what I might look for?
