Is Windows 2000 slower than Windows NT

Is it me or is this the case. I just installed Windows 2000 on two machines and even though everything is running ok it seems much slower than windows nt when file browsing over the network. We have a NT file server with all our production files on it (we are designers) and the Windows 2000 machines are much slower when browsing this server. I have taken off all the unnecessaruy crap like menu transitions but this is still the case.
 
In a nutshell-Yes Win200 is slower than NT on the same system. Make sure you have AT LEAST 128mb for Win2000.
 
Jeff444, based on reviews of Windows 2000 I've seen, it's not slower than NT 4.0 on the same hardware if you have a relatively new processor(ie Pentium III) and 256MB of memory. The TCP/IP networking should actually be a bit faster than NT 4.0. What protocol does your network use?
