File opening should not be a slow process under NT.  If it is, it is at
least an indication that you are suffering some other network difficulty OR
the PC is just way, way too slow to be a server.

The structure of NTFS is such that file opens and closes are faster than
with any other popular OS (other than Linux, maybe...)
