Bert's right about the file size coming into play. A few hundred megabits can be transferred during initial sign in and opening of charts. The AC test is basically testing the time it takes to access the database and read back a value. Think of the database like series of Excel spreadsheets. The time you see is to get to one spreadsheet a read a value. Now when AC opens a chart, especially in the new version, it's accessing multiple tables (multiple spreadsheets) in this example. One sheet has the all the names, the other has all the diagnoses. So the factor in play here is that you have to access too many tables when you open a single chart. If it takes 1 second to get to one table, then another second to get to the next... it just compounds the problem.
