I am sure many people have experienced slow login/logoff problems with XP Pro as a number things can cause this issue. Could you be more specific with the problem you are experiencing? You will get better solutions for this issue with the more information you provide.

Try Safe Mode (Do you have this problem in Safe Mode?). Or in Normal Mode but as a different user?
Run the System File Checker program from the Run Box by typing.....Sfc /Scannow in it and have your XP CD handy.

It takes 30 minutes logging off - stand alone.

Have you tried any of the above, you don't say if you have?
How is the machine running otherwise?
What is Task Manager able to tell you during or prior to the Log Off process?
If nothing else works you could try repairing windows by running it over itself. You will lose all your windows updates but your files will be untouched.

What is the size of your profile..rather large profiles can cause slower than normal logons & logoffs
