Re: why is CVS so slow

[Michael Schiestl]

I am using the SSPI protocol.

What I mean by slow is tho following:

I just created a new module in my repository and then added all my project 
files (approx. 2000 files, 280 MB). This process took about 15 min, which is 
a longt ime I think.

Committing the (just added) files then took about 5 min, which is good.

Updating with no changes takes about 20 sec.

This may not seem slow to you and in fact it is fast enough to work with. 
However, if one looks at the CPU/network/HDD utilisation one must conclude 
it could be lots faster. I just wonder where the bottleneck is.
