[Subclipse-users] How slow should comparing branches be?

Hello,

I'm trying to compare trunk with a tag in a project that has many files
(about 34000 files). Team/Compare With/Branch/Tag is very slow when
doing the graphical compare. However the unified diff is very quick.

Anyway, I noticed by looking at our apache access log for our subversion
server that it is doing about 10 propfinds on each file. This takes
about 1/4 of second for each file. Should it be that slow? Is something
wrong with our repository that makes it slower than it should be?

We are using https/apache/mod_svn/kerberos/ldap.

I don't know if this is slowing things down but, I also noticed that
apache is giving a 401 http response for each file and I guess subclipse
has to send the user's password once for each file and our auth process
has to check. Is there a module or some configuration option in apache
that would prevent it from needing to re-auth for each file?

thanks,
Brad Johnson
