Question

Incredibly slow when switching sites

I'm running DW 21.3 on a decent computer (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6600U CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.81 GHz) using Windows 10. I find it takes nearly three minutes to switch between two large sites in the Files panel. Looking through other posts, I tried other solutions such as disabling the site cache in site settings and deleting the Temp File List in the Registry, but no luck.

Any suggestions?

When you say "Large Sites," how large are they?

 

Some people experience latency issues when sites aren't defined.  Or their local site folders reside on external, network or cloud drives.  Defining site folders on the primary HD often speeds things up a bit.

It's an intranet for a 25k employee company, so it's large. About 250k files. But, the odd thing is: my boss, who is also using DW for this site, doesn't have this problem. He's able to switch between site in 15-20 seconds. We compared laptops and found that his specs were actually inferior to mine, then we compared DW settings and found that they are the same. It's frustrating.

Where are your site folders?

Do you and your boss have the same permission settings for accessing files?
