When opening an Office document stored on SP after opening a local document I still get a 30 seconds delay. I have also reproduced this problem on many (all my client's machine I could test) different machines. I'm looking forward to test it with my laptop to be able to try different configurations and diagnostic software (Fiddler) as I don't have admin rights to do it on my client's machines... | |

The problem only happens when opening Word/Excel the first time. If I only open a local document first there is still the 30 second wait. Symantec is installed on the client machine and on the server. I agree that anti-viruses can be a PITA, but there's no reason it could slow down only the first opened document. I'll keep you in touch when I will have tested Fiddler. | |
