Yes, mostly, I think I am saying that. A "LOCAL network drive" is network drive, and is not a local drive, local as the network may be. We read and write such a drive over a network protocol, in this case a Microsoft protocol and implementation in the SMB/CIFS family. Where are your 17 seconds going? Hard to tell. Is your experience of astonishing filesystem slothfulness rare? Not so much. We could probably diagnose the problem in a few weeks. We'd use some open-source tools, WireShark among them, plus some Microsoft tools for which we might have to pay, plus the SQLite3 project's C library. With that investment I'd bet we could diagnose, but not cure. -Bryan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
