VEP5: Fast connection but slow disconnection

[Dom]

Now with the last few latest versions of VEP 5 my mac connects to the PC slave quickly, eg to 20 instances in about 4 seconds. The problem is still that disconnection takes significantly longer. 2-3 seconds per instance. Which can add to quite a lot with a template of 50 instances. This used to be all instant on a much older systems with VEP4(?) I had a couple of years ago. 

Reducing the number of audio outputs in the VEP preferences/connection settings makes no difference. I used fixed IP, on a separate network. As mentioned, connection is fast, so I doubt it's a IP issue. The problem persists even when disconnecting from empty instances, with no plugins or VIs loaded. Decoupling / preserving / unpreserving makes no difference.

Incidentally, when connecting to a local instances on the mac, the disconnection is instant. The problem is when disonnecting from the external slave. Would anyone have a solution for this?

Host: Logic Pro X 10.2.0, Mac Pro (2012) 10.9.5, VEP 5.4.13845
Slave: Carillon PC, VEP 5.4.13845, Windows 7

I have now noticed the following:

Connection and disconnection is fast if all instances are preserved and de-coupled. Disconnection from let's say 30 instances happens in about 2 seconds in total.

Disconnection is slow if there is just one unpreserved instance, amongst many preserved instances. Let's say you have 30 preserved instances and and 1 unpreserved one. It will disconnect slowly from even all the preserved instances, 1.5 sec each, making it a total of 46 seconds. If the unpreserved insatcnes is removed from the session, the total disconnection time is again back to only 2 seconds.

It's the same behaviour on a local host or external slave. Mac or PC. 

VSL, could it be sorted that the unpreserved instances down slow down everything else?

Hi Dom, 

Thanks for the input, we will take a look!
