Last days I have also detect, that monotone are very slow with big 
database. I started a pull of Monotone source, and after 30 Minites it 
does no network traffic and eats all CPU time. In next follow 60 Minutes 
I wand to write a bug report to you. I do make screen shoots and all. 
But before I post this all, the download was ready after total more than 
2 hours to download your source of 37MB. So I do not wrote to list.

Is that normal?


I get full source:
monotone --db=monotone.db --key="" pull off.net net.venge.monotone

On WindowsXP-Home as User (non Admin rigts), CPU 1.8GHz, 512MB RAM.

After ~30 minutes, I seen a big DB file >20MB,
and a small other file ("jurnal" or so? Name I can not remember me).
~1 h after start this DB file was 221.184 Bytes.

Size and timestamp was unchanched since >30 Minutes. CPU-Load is 98%, 
Monotone use 45MB-65MB virtual memory, does something all 3 second on 
harddisk, but not on DB file (perhaps swapping?). No network traffig.

This lines stay here more than ~40 Minutes:
