Dave, I would expect the other way around - can you explain? On a windows server the UNC would sometimes involve a lookup through a sequence of services (lmhost, then wins, then DNS then broadcast) whereas the map drive "should" cache that information. They also use a differenct ipc mechanism.... what's your reasoning?

I would expect that a UNC path might be infinitesimally faster, but the difference if any should be negligible.
