searching network drive shares

Environment is a Windows NT 4.0 domain with Print & File sharing PDC,
Exchange 5.5 server and Proxy 2.0 server. Clients were 98, 2000, and XP.
Replaced all the 98 & 2000 clients with XP Pro SP2 2 weeks ago. Several
users that had 98 machines would routinely search a shared directory on the
PDC for files (mostly PDF or CAD drawing). The search would complete in 5
seconds or less. The new XP machines doing the same search will take 70-75
seconds. (the previous 2000 users did not do searching, but when one of their
systems was tested, it also takes 60 seconds or more). Logins and browsing do
not seem to be a problem. I can drill down to the file through Explorer about
as fast as I can move the mouse and click. I tried turning on indexing, but
since the files do not have any recognizable content, it didn't seem to help.
Outlook email and Internet work just fine. It only seems to be a problem
with searching.
WINS is running on the PDC and I started DNS. Doesn't seem to make a
difference. Any help would be appreciated.
