I/We've not seen slowness in any of our tests with our own Openfire
server nor with Google talk's service. If you would like to try some
guest accounts on the ecf.eclipse.org openfire server please send an
email to me directly at slewis at composent.com and I'll give you access
to some accounts.

I would say that given that you have a low latency network, it is almost
certainly that the server has some latency (for whatever reason).

It might. I've noticed that Skype's app 2 app service (what ECF
uses/depends upon) can sometimes have a relatively high latency,
however. I suspect it depends upon the Skype load but haven't done any
careful examination yet.
FWIW, the logic implementing the shared editing does not take up
significant time on reasonably powered machines, so the latency you are
seeing is almost certainly due to the network (unlikely in your case)
and/or the server (seems fairly likely).

Scott,
I have seen slowness in IMing in Eclipse via ECF versus a client like
Pidgin. I have both open and the messages appear in Pidgin noticeably
before Eclipse.

To anyone interested:
I have actually tested docshare with the guest accounts of the ECF
openfire server and it worked perfectly fine. I suspect that there is
either something wrong with those public servers that i tested or they
simply have too many users. I also made a quick setup of my own openfire
server and it worked fine as well. So Scotts point is true. Some free
public servers are doing something that prevents the shared editing from
working as expected.
