Can you be more specific?

Encryption is on by default on the Windows client.  Fs setcrypt off and 
see if that improves performance.  You can also set the cache size 
larger and tweak other parameters.

Do you happen to know the working set size of all the files in your 
build process?  Its probably best if all files that are needed can be 
cached on the client machine.  The default cache is only 100MB or so, 
which might be too small in your case.

Are you using the latest 1.5.X series client?

On what hardware are you experiencing problems?
