problem: high&long cpu usage

Hi,

I have a problem with tortoise, which I would like to report here.

Every time I do an update of my project, tortoise turns my laptop unusable
for 45 minutes. The application TSVNCache.exe consumes all available cycles,
leaving very little to actually use my system.

I am using a fairly big project:
6.66Gbyte (including .svn dirs)
112724 files (including .svn stuff)
63620 folders (including .svn)

an example problematic update had:
conflicted 1
Merge 2
Added 1948
Update 420
transfered 190MByte of data of a local (100Mbit line) svn server.

Although this is big, nevertheless I think this is a bug, I suspect
somewhere tortoise is busy looping, or one of its algorithm scales very bad.
(O(n^2) or worse).
If a project gets really big, ofcourse the total time to 'update' increases
(due to download time, etc), but I don't think its ever right if during that
time an application uses 100% cpu.
when the system consumes 60-100% of the cpu, the harddisk also is accessed.
most of the time the tortoise is _not_ downloading anything.

further observation: Even without an update, TSVNCache.exe keeps consuming
100% of the cpu, even when tortoise is finished. And nothing is going on on
my laptop.

my system: Dell latitude D510, Windows XP SP2, 1.4GHz Celeron, 1GB memory.

Regards,
Harm Verhagen
