And seconding the idea of opening all the files locally, the two
biggest bottlenecks are local RAM and disk free space and a
combination of network speed and server speed for opening and closing
the remote files. If you're running slowly or Frame is having trouble,
those are your first two items to check.
FWIW, I think 2G RAM is about the minimum you want to be running...
and the drive needs to have a significant chunk of free space.
One other possible bottleneck is if your local virus checker is
processing each component file each time FM hits it. If it is, and
it's possible to configure it, try to minimize screening network
files.
