Yes.

Our testing also found that using the SAN was faster than the Solaris 9
RAM disk solution. So, that is what we are using these days.

If anyone is really serious about tuning and improving the performance
of their own CVS installation, there should be nothing stopping them
- From tweaking the sources for experimentation and running their own
tests.

If you instrument CVS and find a particular hotspot and then find a way
to make that area more efficient without hurting the rest of the system,
let the address@hidden list know your results and your patch and you
will likely find changes considered for inclusion in future versions of
CVS.
