We are using Microsoft SharePoint for our intranet since 2006, but users started to put there office documents local or on other products like TFS, NAS (File Share), just because opening a Microsoft Office document would take a lot of time (ranging from 10s to 2 minutes). The VISIO documents were the worst of all (always waiting for minutes before I could start working on the document, but then when I saved the Microsoft VISIO document I was waiting for minutes again). So after being frustrated for over 4 years, here comes along our Microsoft SharePoint Administrator: Jan Willem Nieuwenhuizen, he did a google on it and found the solution:
Start Internet Explorer > Tools > Internet Options > Connections > LAN settings”:
Disable “Automatically detect settings”
Enable “Use a proxy server for LAN (These settings will not apply to dial-up or VPN connections)”
Enable “Bypass proxy server for local addresses”
Press Advanced
Enter *.* in the “Do not use proxy server for addresses beginning with”:
Press OK
Can I have a hooray for JW: hooray hooray hooray

One hurray from me – this actually works! Loading time for Visio documents went from 1 minute to 15”, which makes Sharepoint almost usable!
Thanks for sharing the tip.
PS: The mind shudders at the conflicting instructions one has to give to make this thing work decently.
