When I am in MATLAB 7.8 (R2009a) and I change from my local directory, C:\, into a network directory, K:\Devel, using the CD command, it is quite slow. Once the command prompt is returned, I observe that the current directory shown in the MATLAB Toolbar is still showing it is in the C:\ drive for quite some time before it updates to the proper directory.
While in this directory, any commands that I run take a long time to run. However, if I change back into the C:\ drive, this lag is gone and I am able to use MATLAB as expected.
Also, if I change to another directory on K:\ that does not contain any MATLAB files or subfolders, this lag is not observed.
