The university I went on used a similar setup, and pulling the profile took no time.
I don't know what's wrong with corporate enviroments, that Windows profiles take so long to roam. That seems to be true to all of them. Also, corporate IT has an extremely irrational aversion to simply installing the software on all the computers for once. Even when it's free software, or things that everybody uses. That also repeats everywhere.
I remember from the old days when I used to deal with this. It was most often a case of people putting a lot of big files on their Windows desktops.
Certain people refused to put their big files on the network share because they said it took to long to load and then complained that their roaming profiles took to long to load because they had those big files on their desktop.
