Security Update 2006-007 Special Report: Slow access to network drives
Some users have reported slow access to network drives after the update.
James Crossett writes: "I downloaded the newest Mac OS X security update a few hours ago and I swear its slowed my mounted disk speed. Working in Textmate is now really slow as it is mapped to a network drive and when I go back to it after working in other apps it takes like 20 seconds to start responding again, OSX even panicked at one point as I saved a doc to the mounted disk and I had to switch it off with the power button. Also, navigating network drives is dog slow and transferring files intermittently takes forever as it 'prepares to copy files' for about 5 minutes."
Clearing system caches with a utility like AppleJack, Cocktail or Tiger Cache Cleaner can often eliminate these slow-downs.
