This is becuase Windows XP for some reason does NOT turn off the shell extensions for webDav folders, so when you click a file it reads the file to find out what it is. So if you select a 10MB jpg file over the net, it has to download the hole file before you get a context menu. Really pants :(
If there is a way to stop this I would love to know, until then, i'm using DAVExplorer. Its a Java app and you cant select multiple files, so it isn't that great, but its fast.
My Bro says its perfect/fast on Mac OS too :(

I have the same problem, from windows 2000 clients, performance is not a big problem, but from windows xp client, only selecting a file in a webdav drive can take 15 seconds..

Using WebDAV (or Web Folders) on Windows XP with an Windows Server on the other side is really terribly slow. In fact, I see it as unusable.
I tried with different client computers, Windows XP Home, Professional and different servers (Windows 2000 Server, 2003 Server).
Copying files results in the progress bar going really fast to the end end then it takes endless till it finishes, no way to tell how long it will take cause the progressbar is useless.
Does anybody else have better experiences?
I used to have a Mac, and WebDAV was much more usable on Mac OS.
In fact, back than I tried WebDAV on Win XP in conjunction with a Apache Server, and it was a better experience than my tries with Windows servers...
