This could be caused by the Wndows “Remote Differential Compression” engine. You may experience poor file copy performance over the network in Windows 7 PCs.

Reference: ] Slow Network File Copy issues in Windows 7 caused by Remote Differential Compression Reference: Slow Network File Copy issues in Windows 7 caused by Remote Differential Compression I see mention of Win7 certified switches.īut even switches that were not Win7 certified It seems Win 7 offloads some network duties to the network switch. The change creates slowdowns with some network switches. In the way Windows IP networking is implemented.

The general Windows population has many similar reports.Īpparently there are some subtle changes in Win7 Research has shown this is not unique to WATCHOUT, XP machines in the same cluster do not exhibit speed issues. Periodically we hear reports of very slow online / update times Here is what I had so far, but decieded not to post originally. So why would you de-tune every WATCHOUT system to accomodate old hardware?Ī while back, I started to write a post on this, but discovered that different swtiches needĭifferent tweaks. That is an adaptation of Windows 7 to make it work with older network switches Not every setup needs that tweak, in fact, very few do.
