I don't have help, but I have empathy. I see the exact same issue on our
Power 8 machine at V7R2. Some people who don't shutdown their PC's very
often seem to have better results than me, where I shutdown my PC every
night.
What I don't get is that it doesn't appear to be an actual file serving
issue. As you noted, you can transfer files in and out of the IFS very
quickly. Same here. But, as soon as you try to open it directly, it
freezes up for 5 minutes for me sometimes. That's odd to me.

Subject: IBM i to network connection performance
Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
I seem to have a very bad performance issue between the IBM I and my
network
when working with files in the IFS and applications on my PC.
We are on IBM I V7R2.
I have an excel .xml file called mytest3.xml (literally, that is the file
name). The file is 17k and has about a dozen rows and columns.
When I open the excel file from the IFS the file takes about a minute to
load (using MS Excel).
When I take the IFS file and move it to the network, the file opens
instantaneously. (Note that moving the file from the IFS to the network
using File Explorer is instantaneous).
.I have often thought that network, and also HTTP interactions, with our
IBM
I have been slow, but have never been able to pin it down.
The Excel experiment above seems to highlight the issue.
The question is, what approach can I take to try address this issue?
How can I investigate the problem?
Any help appreciated.
