It now takes about 20 minutes for VFP/VSS to cycle through the project list on the VSS server machine; it used to take just a few minutes. Also, some of our client machines also take close to the 20 minutes to do the get for the entire project, while other client machines take as little as 8 minutes. We have tried archiving the project and removing the old versions.
