Logging far too slow since using remote clients

I started to deploy my test from my local Computer to virtual machines.

Locally, all worked fine. But on the virtual machine, nothing seemed to happen in TestExecute.

I installed TC there to see what was going on.

 

The Observation is that writing a single Log entry (Log.Message, Log.Event) takes e.g. 30s, 60 s or 90s. After having worked with the remote TC instance, my original local TC has got the same Problem.

When I suppress a log entry in Event handling using Logparams.Locked = true, no delay happens.

 

The Project Suite had been on a Network share before.

What I did is to Change the logging dir from the Network share to a local disk. I applied a UserVariable for it to cover variance on remote virtual machines.

 

I tried to remove the uservariable, remove Event handling, but nothing helped.

 

Logging from a keyword test works normally, without any delay.

        did some more Investigation using a Project Suite in shared mode (TC 11). The Project files are located on a Network share, the loggiong is done locally.

         

        Here is my test program:

        　

        Sub Test3

        Dim Ix

        For Ix = 1 to 6

        log.Message "Msg " & Ix

        Next

        End Sub

         

         

        Running this on my local machine, I get the attached log - on local machine.

        So, between log msg 1 and 2, there are some seconds delay time (why is this?), but from there on, everything runs fast.

         

        Running on a virtual Client, it looks like  the attached log - on virtual Client.

        Between each log item, there is a 30s delay, which makes this pretty unusable.

         

        Again, I suspect that the latest Win7 update could Play a role here?

        Does anybody use shared mode?

        Can anybody reproduce?
