| I think, that when Hugo mentions "old fashioned drive letters" vs UNC | paths, he is referring to a "mapped network drive" as Windows calls | it, which is just a shortcut to a UNC path. | If I understand correctly, Hugo is noticing a speed difference | accessing the _same_ file using two different methods. For example, if | you have a "U:" drive mapped to "\\server\userspace\username", and try | to access U:\example.txt, it will be much faster than accessing \ | \server\userspace\username\example.txt.
Ben, you are understanding it correctly. I see that some installer has left a small 88 byte "log.txt" file in the root of my hard drive. Accessing it through c:\log.txt is fast, accessing it through \\computer\c$\log.txt is very slow (locks up gvim for 20 secs). | Unfortunately, I cannot say that I've noticed this problem, nor do I | really understand networking in Windows very well, so I won't be of | much help. Well, it would be helpful if other Windows user could confirm that this problem exist, or identify if it could be related to my setup(s). :) Cheers, Hugo --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message from the "vim_use" maillist.
