hi all,
we have serious speed-problems on our 10-users-network installation of Stata 
8. The speed-problems seem to arise due to slow invocation of ado-files and 
help-files. Stata takes sometimes more than 10 seconds to show up help-files, 
and I guess that this is the same with the definition of programs in 
ado-files. Given that the new graphs require many invocation of external 
programs and of the help-system it is quite painful to work with Stata on our 
network installation. 
I know that the invocation of files from a network widely depends on the  
hardware (network cable, file-server etc.) and the networking software (in 
our case: Novell). But besides that, is there anything which can be done 
without asking our network-administrator to change the entire architecture?
any ideas would be highly appreciated
uli
