For what it's worth, I've found that we get much better performance when
we open the files by addressing the server directly instead of using
mapped shares.
Instead of:
O:\notebook.one
We use:
\\
192.168.1.2\share\notebook.one
And it seems both more reliable and noticeably faster; even though the
notebook.one file is in the exact same place on the server.
