Without the registry patch, Word opens the Excel file for every link, regardless of where the Excel file is stored. On a local drive, this can happen so fast Word doesn't have time to report it. Properly implemented, the patch should result in Word opening each Excel file only once, in your case meaning only the initial network latency delay will be incurred.
