Problems with GNU Emacs 23.1.1 on WinXP Pro, x86 Intel

[lyallp]

(i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600 of 2009-07-30 of SOFT-MJASON)

I recently had a round of updates performed on my corporate PC and now, Emacs is really, really slow.
It takes over 30 seconds to start.
If I open D:\temp (a directory), it takes over 20 seconds to respond.
Keyboard response is fast, it seems to be file access that is the problem.
The PC has McAfee installed.
Every time I try to open a file, it takes ages.
How do I diagnose the problem?
Any information I should supply that may assist?

Problem solved.

Good, but did you send a bug report on this so it can be solved?

Hi,

Have you tried starting emacs with "-Q"? Maybe its your config's issue.
I'm using 23.1.1 on winxp sp3, without any performance drop down.

Bye,

It used to work, then my company had the corporate PC image re-adjusted, after a takeover, to the new parent company image.
Somewhere during that conversion the problem arise.
So, I don't consider it a problem with Emacs, but a problem with the environment that Emacs is running within.
