Explorer view is very slow

When opening explorer view in farm with two or more Web Fornd end server behind NLB,
you can wait same good time until the library is open , the reason for this behavior is :
By default, Windows Server 2003 does not respond to SMB queries that use a server name other than the server’s true NetBIOS name or FQDN. If this is attempted, the server will respond with a STATUS_DUPLICATE_NAME error.

To fix this you need to add regestry key in both Frontend Server and then restart them .

this KB KB281308 have more detiles on this issue.

Same good article abot smb Webdev and explorer view
Whitepaper - Understanding and Troubleshooting the SharePoint Explorer View
