Re: RDi over VPN - speed

[Tim Bronski <tim.bronski@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've had very similar issues working with source stored in IFS, 
especially with folders with large numbers of files. I've brought it up 
on this list before but came away thinking I was the only one with the 
problem. I hope you don't mind me saying so but I'm glad I've got company.

I've never seen a performance problem like that, even when my home connection was only 1.5 Mbps down, 256 Kbps up.  The only time I consistently had poor performance was for a couple of weeks after the VPN server had been updated, but I still had the old VPN client (would have been nice if they'd told everyone to update, rather than just scratch their heads and say "Must be your ISP").

Right now I'm running a search through RDi over a folder in the IFS where we keep java source, and it's taking "forever" (I don't recall when I started it, but it's been a few minutes at least).
