Also, the task manager frequently shows "Not Responding" when this is happening (also when appending from another table), however if I leave it alone the append or file close will eventually complete.

After switching from VFP 6 to VFP 7 I've noticed that when I close a table it takes a really long time for it to close, sometimes up to 5 minutes on an AMD 1800+ w/256MB SDRAM (WinXP) and not quite as long but still a couple minutes on an AMD 1700+ w/1GB DDR SDRAM (Win2k).
