When you install and uninstall your network adapter driver on Windows Server 2003, you eventually experience slow system performance.

NOTE: This issue may not occur until you install and uninstall your network adapter driver 1000 times.

This behavior occurs because of a handle leak in the NetMan (Network Connections) service.

To workaround this behavior, periodically restart your server.
