I find equipment the most nit picky and time consuming aspect when making NPCs. Looking up the amount of gold, spending it on appropriate things, then factoring in the bonuses.
I've gotten burned a few times grabbing NPC stats off the d20 NPC wiki that were appropriate thematically but not realizing until they gathered loot that they were designed with PC wealth instead of NPC wealth ("I'll throw in a dozen of this level 8 duergar fighter rogue to use as mooks to round out this fight for my 16th level group").
