Could you try again after setting w32-get-true-file-attributes to nil?
Does that make the time shorter in any significant way?

Also, can you show some numbers, like how "many many seconds" does it
take with the current pretest and what is the time it takes Emacs 22.3
to do the same job?  And if you repeat the same task again, is the
time shorter or roughly the same?

Finally, does "C-x d" of the same directory take the same time as
drag-n-drop?

Thanks.
