I've got a few customers with particularly large projects that have a ton of documentation. Rung comments, doc editor, the works. If I'm on-site and connected to the LAN writing an update isn't fast, but when I'm off-site writing an update one the VPN the update takes what feels like an eternity and it's always the documentation that takes the longest to write.
I vaguely remember having a conversation a few years ago with someone (maybe BobO?) about this and being told there was a change made to how documentation was stored in the PLC around the time the REST API came into existence and that was the underlying reason for the slowness writing documentation. As I recall documentation used to be stored in the CPU as just a simple ZIP file and now it's parsed and dealt with bit by bit when writing an update.
If my memory is accurate, and since I don't make use of the web server nor the REST API, is there a way to tell Do-more to go back to the old way of handling documentation writes to the PLC that was significantly quicker?
Or is there some other trick I can use to speed up writing to the PLC?
