Installing Local Copies of Apex/Summit Binaries

If you are accessing Apex or Summit from a file server across the network and you believe that network bottlenecks are degrading their performance, you might be able to improve performance by installing copies of the Apex/Summit binaries on your workstation's local disk. This chapter tells you how to set this up.
