MicroStation Connect - Insane File-->Open Times

We have created a MicroStation Connect environment off-line, tested most of the customizations and are now ready to test it in the live production environment.  In the off-line environment, I was able to open files with very little lag times.  However, when opening a file on the network, we have encountered extremely long file open times in the neighborhood of 2 minutes per file.

Has anyone else encountered anything similar?

TIA,
