Re: cvs update with file list is very slow

[Brad L. Chisholm]

What version of CVS is running on the server?  In 1.11 and earlier, the
server would sleep approx. 1 second on each explicitly specified file,
as part of the timestamp race avoidance code.  While this served a purpose,
it was not necessary for both the server and the client to sleep, so
the fix was to bypass the sleep in the server code.

You might want to try a server more recent than 1.11, and see if that fixes
your problem.
