# Location of the p4 executable

If none of the above diagnostic steps explains the sluggish response time, it’s possible that the `p4` executable itself is on a networked file system that is performing very poorly. To check this, try running:

    $ p4 -V

This merely prints out the version information, without attempting any network access. If you get a slow response, network access to the `p4` executable itself might be the problem. Copying or downloading a copy of `p4` onto a local filesystem should improve response times.
