I am also interested in this conversation as I too am having this issue. We are running on EG 7.15 and connecting to the server (9.4M5) and am seeing much the same thing. Things are running much smoother after hours when there is not a lot of usage to the VPN. But we cannot run all things off hours. I am seeing this same "preparing the server" being a frequent hang-up. Also if there is a condition on the execution of the node in EG, that seems to take a lot longer than it should. And exports and "download" or "uploads" seem to be taking a lot of time. I did turn off the display results option, and that is speeding the development work up. But other things can take 2-5 times as long to run. Any help or advice would be appreciated since it looks like we may be in this situation more long term.
