DFS/FRS causes Explorer to lag...?

Hey there folks--

I've been playing around with DFS and FRS to replicate data files over to a secondary server as a disaster recovery kinda thing. I've got everything working with a test folder.. shared it, set up the one-way replication, etc.. but once the FRS is running, windows explorer starts to lag on the master server. I'm talking about a minimum of 45 seconds just to display a list of drives.. click into any drive, and that's another 45-60 second wait..

There are no errors and it seems no other bad effects (CPU doesn't spike, available RAM doesn't change, hard drive access stays normal...), it's just incredibly annoying and strange. Anyone else get this sorta thing happening?

And could anyone recommend a decent 3rd party replacement? Something to replicate, in real-time, about 50-75gb of active data, including database files, over to a secondary server?

Thanks
