Definitely.
The data has to go from the network drive to your PC to the Internet.
Files have to be updated on the network drive, and on the site you are
publishing to
And some files are updated on your PC as well.
Depending on your internal network conditions, the server running your
network drive, the whole process could take a lot longer.
Incidentally, my 2Mbps ADSL (256Kbps upload) connection has been upgraded to
10Mbps (512Kbps upload) cable, and the server has moved to a "faster" box.
The typical publishing rate has improved from 12K to 15K publishing to
FrontPage extensions, and 50K (maximum the cable can handle on uploads)
using FTP at the same site, which points to limitations at the server when
any processing of files is involved. (FTP is confined to a subweb
containing images - the extensions on this subweb are probably corrupted
now.)
