Re: svn_client_proplist slow to get all of one dir

I have created a test program test_propval.cpp in
http://svn.collab.net/repos/pysvn/trunk/pysvn/Extension/Patches

I run the program in the Patches directory with the command line

test_propval readme.txt 100

Running on a 600MHz Mandrake 9.2 system I get:

         Time for 100 calls 170ms
         Time for 1 call 1ms

Running on a 1GHz Windows XP SP1 systems with Norton
anti-virus enabled:

         Time for 100 calls 2423ms
         Time for 1 call 24ms

Running on a 1GHz Windows XP SP1 systems with Norton
anti-virus disabled:

         Time for 100 calls 1392ms
         Time for 1 call 13ms

The performance on Linux is fine, but the Windows performance is
terrible.

Why is the windows performance so poor?
