Hi Wayne,
>The clients IT department has conducted network sniffer tests and they reveal that the application (executable compiled) is making IO calls to directories that exist only in our development environment for example.."/libs,/progs". The actual application when installed does NOT have these directories.
In my experience these directory probes have little impact on performance. Frequently, the problem is either the amount of data that goes over the network or the network latency.
