hpcmpmgr
Every time the computer was shutting down, there was a delay waiting for hpcmpmgr to stop running. Apparently this is a problem with Windows XP Service Pack 2 which somehow breaks this program that just checks for updates from HP periodically. The fix is easy to find by searching HP's website for "hpcmpmgr" and leads you to a download page for a program hpcmpmgrFix.exe that fixes the problem.
