RE: More FSFS performance comments

Yes Troy,

Please let us know. We are currently running 1.3.0 with over 15,000
revisions and have found that in our single repository that all projects
checkout significantly much quicker than one particular project. We
think this is due to the size and breadth of that one project's
directory structure. While almost all of our projects take less than
three minutes to do a full checkout, this one project consistently takes
more than three. Even a switch from branch to branch results in long
switch times of around one minute (and then another two for Eclipse to
build the project workspace). What's different about this project, lots
of directories deep (up to 10 layers in some sections) with lots of
files at the senior levels of the directory structure.

How do your full working copying check out times compare to an export
time? It might be the underly .svn folder choking on the number of
files and directories.
