We found out that the workstation with the best connect performance all the time had the 'File types to scan' option set to 'All files' in the Auto-Protect tree. The workstations that were slow in connecting had it set to 'Program files and documents only (recommended) with the list of file/document extensions to check/scan.

Are you sure that you change to 'Scan All Files'? It seems that opposite should be faster because it doesn't have to check tables/indexes and other files not listed in 'File types to scan'.
