Slow Windows Explorer on Vista SP1

Browsing directories with Windows Explorer on my Vista virtual server has become so slow that it is unusable. It takes one minute or more to detect the files in a folder once I've clicked on it. I don't have a network drive mounted either. This was not fast before SP1 but since I've installed SP1, the responsiveness of Windows Explorer has really become worse.

Is anyone else having the problem?

I'm using a MacBook pro Santa Rosa with 4GB RAM. Nothing else major is running and I've rebooted many times (both the vm and Mac) but that doesn't affect the problem.

Not helpful but quite the opposite here: VIsta with SP1 is finally somewhat "useable", on the same hardware: SR MacBook Pro, 4 GB, granting 1 GB to Vista SP1.
