Thanks everyone for your responses I am doing more research now.
One thing though, I did see that the NetServer Domain was set to 'SEAWOLF'
which surprised me. How important is the netserver domain name? I would
have thought it would need to match our Windows domain name. I have since
set it to match our windows domain and restarted netserver; it has not had
any affect that I can see.

Subject: IBM i to network connection performance
I seem to have a very bad performance issue between the IBM I and my network
when working with files in the IFS and applications on my PC.
We are on IBM I V7R2.
I have an excel .xml file called mytest3.xml (literally, that is the file
name). The file is 17k and has about a dozen rows and columns.
When I open the excel file from the IFS the file takes about a minute to
load (using MS Excel).
When I take the IFS file and move it to the network, the file opens
instantaneously. (Note that moving the file from the IFS to the network
using File Explorer is instantaneous).
.I have often thought that network, and also HTTP interactions, with our IBM
I have been slow, but have never been able to pin it down.
The Excel experiment above seems to highlight the issue.
The question is, what approach can I take to try address this issue?
How can I investigate the problem?
Any help appreciated.
