In the past we've been able to help system performance by disabling virus checking in the directory MapInfo uses for temp files - otherwise they're all getting checked (double? Triple? checked) as they get created.
Not all virus checkers allow this and it may breach your security policy - but worth checking.

It puzzled us immensely, and nobody seemed to know the answer. Then someone bothered to check its virus checking measures, and it turned out the machine not only was doing triple virus checks but also in some instances was checking all file types instead of just programs. When optimized, i.e. by shutting down all unnecessary checking, the machine went back to normal working performance. Just an idea of where to look. Best regards/Med venlig hilsen Lars V.
