So, now I wonder WHY - what is it about ZoneAlarm and/or other firewall
software
that might cause this degredation in performance of DC?
I suggest that certain software that is supposed to be looking for viral
particles is hindered by the nature of many Pick filestructures. It
would not
be uncommon in Pick to have files that are hundreds of megabytes large. If,
each time one of these files *changes* that triggers a police-program to
re-check it to see if it now contains a virus .... that could be a major
source of
slowness.
T'was pointed out to me years ago when I first raised this DC "hesitation"
problem that went away if one disconnected ZoneAlarm Pro, or even used the
freebie ZA, that "nagling" was the source of the problem....
I'll leave it to someone better qualified than me to explain that......
