I am having problems with Windows XP Professional login or authenticating a user profile. XP is attached to a Win NT 4.0 DNS and from the moment you enter your password to the time the desktop comes up it takes about 10 to 15 minutes.

Try adding 2 entries into the LMHOSTS file on the XP box, defining the NT PDC and domain name.
Here is a Technet article that talks about this, article Q180094:
