title: How to speed up Selenium Webdriver test through RC in C#
body: <p>I am having a Selenium Test speed issue for a while now. I currently have the following:
  - Selenium WebDriver 2.53.0
  - Selenium Standalone Server 2.53.0
  - Selenium IEDriverServer 2.53.0 (32 bit)</p>
  
  <p>When I run the tests on my local machine everything seems fine, the tests run with an acceptable speed.
  However when I run the tests through RC, each test takes twice the time, it's so slow. </p>
  
  <p>My configuration is as follow:</p>
  
  <p>From my code I use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>public static IWebDriver Instance { get; set; }
  
  public static RemoteWebDriver RemoteDriverInstance { get; set; }
  
  RemoteDriverInstance = new RemoteWebDriver(new Uri("http://xxx.xxx.x.xxx:4444/wd/hub"), DesiredCapabilities.InternetExplorer());
  
  Instance = RemoteDriverInstance;
  
  From the VM (the machine in whcih the tests will run)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I use:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-jar C:\Selenium\RC\selenium-server-standalone-2.53.0.jar -Dwebdriver.ie.driver=C:\Selenium\IEDriver\IEDriverServer.exe
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Attempted solutions:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>Before I was using Selenium IEDriverServer 2.53.0 (64 bit), then I downgraded to 32 bit, this has not changed anything.</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Now I am stuck. Has anyone faced this issue? This is a major hurdle as the aim of the Automation Tests is to be run on multiple machines, even Virtual Machines.</p>
  
  <p>Please help.</p>
