Re: VB6 Generating Lots of Network Traffic

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

What surprises me is the quantity of the network traffic. You will have
traffic when running code from a network drive, and you will have it when
"new bits" are loaded. Unlike running code from removable storage,
network-based code is not loaded into memory (the swap file) when first
read. Also, you have to consider thread local storage and so on.

As Ken and Raph say, look at your code to see if you're doing something that
also goes back to the main program's source location.
