Is it the mpq-files? And do I copy the ones from the D2-CD or the LOD-CD? If it's the former, which of the 3 CDs do I copy the files from?

(For those who don't know; this is done to speed up the game. It takes less time for the PC to find a file on your harddrive then on your CD-ROM (especially if you have a slow one.))

Thanks a bunch.

It is, indeed, the MPQs. AFAIK, the installation of the expansion already copied all the MPQs from the classic CDs (that's why you only need the expansion CD in the drive). So, just copy the d2exp.mpq, d2xmusic.mpq, d2xtalk.mpq and/or d2xvideo.mpq from your expansion CD to your Diablo II directory and I think it'll load them from there instead. You have to decide if the extra hard drive space is worth the extra speed.
