Extremly slow I/O over VPN
Submitted by on Sunday, 3 October, 2004 - 17:26
Hi,
I have this problem with jEdit. I'm using it to edit files on SMB mapped disk over VPN. The link speed is 128/16KBs. The problem is that all I/O operations are extremly slow in jEdit. Browsing directory with 30 files takes about minute to finish (with explorer it takes about 1 sec). Saving buffers behaves even stranger. Sometimes it takes 1-2 secs and sometimes even 1 minute to save 10-20KB large buffer (with other editors it takes always cca 2-3secs). Also when I switch to jEdit it takes cca 1-2secs to draw it's window (but this time is stable) and switching between buffers is quick as normal.
Can anyone explain me this strange behaviour? I've tested JRE 1.5.0 and 1.4.1, jEdits 4.2final and 3.2.
