| | Vista + Norman AV = Slow Network Hi All I am using Vista x64 and while I am very happy with the results and speed I had one major problem, opening a file over the network was slow and I mean SLOW. I conducted tests towards my two different servers opening the same file in exactly the same depth of directories on the servers. The servers W2K3 completely updated and Fedora Core 8 completely updated. The file was a word file of 73Kb and only text. The network is a 1 Gbit network I performed the tests with both NVC 64bit and NVC 32bit software. My initial setup was with Norman Virus Control and Windows firewall. To open the file from the respective servers took. W2K3 - 43 secs FC8 - 36 secs I then turned off Windows FW W2K3 - 43 secs FC8 - 35 secs I uninstalled NVC and turned on Windows FW W2K3 - 1.5 secs' FC8 - 1.5 secs I installed AVG Free 8 with windows FW on W2k3 - 2 secs FC8 - 2 secs I hope this information will help others who may be suffering from slow networking Dave. |
