David,

I see you found the problem. Did you know about the hot fix?

Hi Gary,
there is a hot fix that dramatically increases VSS performance and is available by contacting Microsoft Support.

See http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q228/9/27.asp

Note - when you call support, tell them right off the bat your calling for a "hot fix" which is typically free, and save the time lag of instigating the usual support log record. "
