>>>I have my developer files (project, classes, etc) on the Novell mapped drive of L. When I build an exe say to my C drive for testing. The project builds it in a rapid fashion (30-45 seconds).

Now when I decide to build an exe to the Novell Network K drive (where users operate), the build will take approx 2 to 3 minutes to build.

If you can run the Microsoft Client for Netware, try to compare the speed. It has been my (excruciating) experience that the Novell client is extremely slow and causes data corruption.
