[Genome] Performance of genomebrowser or network ?

[Kees-Jan Francoijs]

L.S,

In our lab (molbio at NCMLS, Radboud University, Nijmegen, The Netherlands)
we use the genome browser on a regular basis. Recently we have seen a
slowdown in performance, which seems only present in our lab. When
hooking up the laptop at home the problem no longer appears.

We use a mixed set of hardware and software (linux+opera, linux+firefox,
xp+ie xp+firefox , vista+ie, etc ) the all suffer from the smame
slowness. Is there some resource limiting process for a specific IP
number (all pc are behind the smame firewaal and share one IP adr.)? 

We mainly upload gzipped fixedstep wig files of ~ 1 to 10 Mb. When
having three tracks in, zooming out 10 X can take upto 40 seconds.

Other connection have no problems when it comes to speed.


thanks in advance
