[OGo-Outlook] Zidelook slow...

[Antoine Hayoz]

Thanks Adam for your answer,

It doesn't really matter how many contacts are in the folder... I have once
140 contacts and one empty calendar: it takes the same time...

The workstation specs are: 2 xeons running vmware server. One virtual machine
runs ogo and another runs win2003 with terminal server (1.5g ram / cpu used
normally).

Ogo runs quite well. The same query (as on zidelook) takes 3-4 seconds on ogo.

Ok I guess there is traffic exchanged. At the end of this mail I've copied the
transaction.

It's not always happening but enough to be really disturbing... Sometimes the
contacts seems to be in cache and it goes quickly. But most of the time it's slow.

I've checked my cpu while requesting some contacts and it stays under 30%. It
doesn't seems to load the virtual machine.

I've also tested from my laptop (wich is not so old) and it's still quite slow.

Thanks for your help.

Here is the transaction log to get 140 contacts: it takes more than 1min.
