I also had *mega* slowdown problems; windows taking 5 minutes to draw, and
stuff like that. It all seems to be related to the Personal LaserWriter NT on
our AppleTalk network; when >1 person tries to print at once, one of the print
jobs get done, and the others machines slow down very, very dramatically! At
the same time, the LaserWriter know nothing about this; it's status light is
steady, and somebody else can jump in and print while the other IIsi's are
trying to print. 

If it's any help, we have 4 IIsi's, 2 IIcx's, 1 IIci, 1 IIfx, Personal
LaserWriter NT, Shiva NetModem v.32 on our single zone. All Macs are running
6.0.7 International, except the IIci, which has 7.0b1.

Thanks for any help,
