Revit MEP Network

Our firm is in the process of completing our first Revit MEP project. We have run into many difficults and was hoping for your help in any way. We have 1 MEP model for all trades which is linking 2 architectural model. The central MEP model is located on the network and all local files on local computers. Each local is HP 4600, 64-bit system with 8GB of Ram. Each users is on a separate V-Lan network, but the central file is on the same server as all the company project. Each local file is taken over 20-30 minutes to load and additional 20-30 mintues to save to central (only 1 can save to central at a time). I know you will need more information but where do we start to fix this time issue. Any help will be appreciated.

The best improvement to performance that I have seen is to go from a 32-bit to the 64-bit. The main gotcha is to confirm whether or not your hardware is suitable to run 64-bit. The difference in performance for my laptop was tremendous.
