This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).
We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:
Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,
Post an idea.
Get feedback from the IBM team and other customers to refine your idea.
Follow the idea through the IBM Ideas process.
Welcome to the IBM Ideas Portal (https://www.ibm.com/ideas) - Use this site to find out additional information and details about the IBM Ideas process and statuses.
IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com) - Use this site to view all of your ideas, create new ideas for any IBM product, or search for ideas across all of IBM.

The CAAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a medium priority requirement that should be addressed. This is affecting more customers these days since there are more working from home -- it is a problem when working over a VPN connection.
Background: The COMMON Americas Advisory Council (CAAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CAAC has a key role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community, and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

You should check this RFE:

It might give you the cause for the slow communication via VPN connections.
The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a “nice to have” LOW priority feature.
Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.

I experience the same thing that Matt Tyler points out.
But it also looks like opening and saving sources is extremely slow when working remote. So it is like the communication is very, very slow when working remote contra working on the local network.
I connect over VPN with high-speed internet using a laptop, an SSD drive, 16 gig main memory, and my workspace is local. When I am local to my work network, I do not notice the 0%-66% outline period of time all that much but it sits at that part far longer now that I am remote.
Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
If I open an RPG member then move to work offline the initial live parsing completes in a few mere seconds. The initial localized work of live parsing should not take more than a minute to complete. Without the basic outline finished we cannot use the drill-down (F3) or return from features (Alt+left arrow).
