Kirk,
Do you have anti-virus software running on the VSS server and your local machines? How many files are in your project?
Another option is to have one VSS connected project and one that is not. Use the VSS project to checkin/checkout, but use the other project for everyday use.
>Does anyone know if there has been any improvement in the speed of opening a project that is part of the VSS. Right now it takes 2-4 minutes to open the project. I don't open the project itself very often, but when I do, wow it's slow.
