Does anyone know why afp shares are so slow (particullarly large ones)? it seems spotlight is trying to index it. I can't prevent spotlight from searching a mounted volume and I have a large share that takes ages to browse or copy to and from.
 
I don't know if this issue is Tiger-specific but AFP has always been quite slow (compared to, say, NFS).

Transferring a file between two 100 megabit machines on a 100 megabit switch has never been even close to 100 megabit throughput.
