Similar to this question: Opening Word documents from IE LAG Windows 7 IE8

Users on our intranet are experiencing large amounts of latency/lag when opening MS Office documents from within webpages in Internet Explorer. More specific:

  1. The files are linked to folders via HTTP (not FILE), and reside within the websites folder structure, anonymously accessed.

  2. They experience this only when clicking "Open"; "Save" and "Save As" result in instantaneous downloads as expected.

  3. File size, and network bandwidth are not an issue (this people are on low volume gigabit LAN/WAN and files as small as 3kb have resulted in 20-30s delays).

Is this because of a patch for Windows or Office? Networking issues in Windows 7?

Anyone?
