Corinna's fabulous ntsec code is only a part of the slow down. She has
resolved most of that problem in the snapshots. I tried it last night on my
laptop disconnected from the domain controller. There are other things that
cause the slow down as well, even unoptimised code in the newlib/libc source.
I know a fact that the Virus Scanner doing file checking will cause a major
slow down.

Corrina's code is completely bypassed the on non-NT OS.
