RE: why is CVS so slow

[Arthur Barrett]

Michael,

As Todd pointed out you should direct these questions to the free open
source CVSNT newsgroup: 
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt

CVS and CVSNT are very different products internally and issues such as
performance requires familiarity with the CVSNT specifics that most of
the members of info-cvs cannot assist you with.

The two most common causes of bottlenecks with CVSNT are:
* Delays in username/group resolution due to a slow active directory
* client not registered in DNS (and reverse DNS lookup is not disabled
on server)

Please post your question again to the CVSNT newsgroup,  including the
version number of the client and server, and a trace (cvs -t -t -t)
showing "which part" of the trace has any "delay".  You may also want to
search the newsgroup archive of CVSNT since various performance issues
have been discussed at length in the past six months.

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
