I recently installed a Network Meter on my office computer. It shows that I am uploading and downloading about 200-300 kb/s each in both categories at the same time. I did a bit of investigation and realized when I have the Project Navigator open, it is keeping a constant line of communication open to the server where the projects reside.
Now I am not necessarily doing anything in Project Navigator. This is just when it is open. If I create, open, delete or save a file then my network speed spikes but it always comes back to 200-300 kb/s.
We experience slowdowns on our network when multiple people have it open and this makes sense. We will be doing further testing. I did a search on here to see if anyone else has experienced this and I see that people are experiencing slowdowns with it but no one seems to have made this connection.
Has anyone noticed this? Thoughts?
