Hi,
I work remotely, so I connect to my office's LAN using a VPN.
As it's really far away, I got pings ranging from 200 to 400ms.
Windows's networking doesn't like lag at all, hence browsing folders & such things in explorer is reaaaaally slow, because there must be a lot of exchanges back & forth.
Anyway, seems that TC does that better, probably by not refreshing / reasking info as often as explorer.
But still, on some occasions some weird things happen; for example when one pane1 I have a local folder, and on pane2 I browse a remote computer, the interface freezes quite often. If I'm navigating in my local folder it seems to keep asking for refreshes on the other pane, therefore making browsing my local folder really slow.
Same thing happens when copying files on background; the whole interface freezes regularly.
Is there a reason for that? probably info asked for the remote file list view? could that be prevented? once I have the list of folders / files on the remote computer, I don't see a reason to ask for information again if I don't do any actions on this view, right?

Try mapping the remote locations you access frequently. I get much faster response from TC while accessing mapped drives than by just browsing the corresponding locations manually. The latter includes focus and refreshing behavior. I guess it's rather a Windows behavior other than TC itself.
