CDE slow after moving home

[lfoata]

We have moved the clients home dir from one server to another server. We use automount.
Since the move, CDE takes about 15 minutes to start on the client workstations. CDE binaries are local.
If we log in without CDE, the home mounts quickly. Openwin also works fine.

Any hints why CDE is so slow ?

Why use both Openwin and CDE? How about getting rid of Openwin and then see how long it takes to load.

We have some old applications that we still support that run on openwin. No money to transfer to CDE.
Anyway, openwin runs on different workstations than CDE.
Any USEFUL hints ?
