Bleh -- 8:25 pm CST, Update by The Master

After suffering many hours of sub-par Windows 2000 performance after my Red Hat 7.3 install yesterday, I've discovered the key to keeping performance up.

W2K has some issues with drives if a drive is converted from a windows OS to Linux. In particular, it wants to continue believing the drive is Win-OS formatted. You MUST disable the linux drive in the hardware manager if you use a whole drive in this manner. I'm not sure what would happen in a single-disk partition environment, my guess is it would work fine. It might also have worked if I had removed the planned linux drive from the hardware profile before installing Linux, but that's all water under the bridge. This entire discussion is my experience, YMMV.
