I think I was just sensitive to that as a possibility since I live in that
world all the time and have learned to work around it.

I don't "live" in that world, but I work with people who do; one has a rather bulky VPN
hardware accelerator tied to his laptop with nylon cable ties (a challenge, by the way),
because otherwise the performance is unendurable. (It is a box about three inches wide,
eight inches long, and two inches thick. As he happily points out, it gives secure data
transfer, but to log into it, any keylogger attack could capture his password; he comments
that the company equipped everyone with these boxes to "improve security".)

Be aware that TCP MTU may be less on VPN interface. Sometimes it doesn't
play well with default 1500 Ethernet MTU.

Hi,

Ya, I am using VPN as Cisco VPN to connect to the office network from
other place. Just missed to mention, when I compile the project while
at office the speed of compilation is avg around 5 mins. However, when
I do the same compilation from some other place than office, I usually
connect using Cisco VPN and then when I compile it takes around 1
hour.

I tried getting all the files locally on my system (those being
accessed using \\ path on network) and then too the compilation speed
is not too resonable when from other place than office.

Do we expect speed of acess reduction of '\\server' stuff when on
VPN ? Network shares do not work in VPN from other place. I tried them
but failed.

Any ideas why ?

Thanks
Abhishek
