Very slow Sharepoint Performance via Windows Explorer

Problem

This is not directly related to development, but if you've created shortcuts to sharepoint from Windows explorer (For example to save MD50s or code), sometimes it is extremely slow

Solution

Sounds random but windows explorer actually uses an IE setting to connect to the sharepoint folder shortcuts that you have created, and uses this setting regardless of the browser that you use.

Uncheck "Automatically detect settings" under internet options in your IE browser, because it's this check that is causing the delays in navigating and saving to your folders.
