From your description, it doesn't appear to be the network.  How are you 
measuring slow?  The workstation is slow doing what?  Running Windows?  What 
do you have for RAM & local harddrives on these machines?

Also a Cyrix 486SLC processor is slower than any 486DX processor.  Cyrix took 
a 386SX and optimized the instruction set and added a little ram inside the 
processor and called it a 486SLC.  The data bus on the 486SLC is 16 bits 
compared to 32 bits for a 386DX or a 486SX/DX.  The Cyrix 486DLC at least had 
a 32 bit data bus on it.  

So in reality the Cryix 486SLC is just a souped up 386SX.  So it's no wonder 
that it seems slow compared to your 486's.
