I've seen MUCH better performance with RDi 9. Expanding IFS directories takes a fraction of the time it used to take.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] RDP "expanding filter" takes forever..

I'm consistently having problem with rdp "expanding" my folder list
under "remote systems". It spends a HUGE amount of time in this
"expanding folder" mode and its in a "not responding" state till it's
done. Then I may click on an open file and off it goes again. I'm being
driven demented! I've closed down views I don't need open but it just
opens them up again. Any suggestions welcome....please!

I work with a lot of source files that are stored in IFS. I access
them by expanding the Root file system via Remote Systems. (I work
remotely, connected via vpn). My problem is that RDP seems to
continuously want to "refresh" my file list if I make any sort of
change to a file or select a different file tab to look at. I don't
even have to "save" anything. I can be locked out for 5 minutes while
RDP shows "expanding filter" and windows shows it as "not
"responding". It eventually does respond. Anyone have any suggestions
as to a fix or workaround? (RDP 8.3 and 8.5)
