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.

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).
