Night and day. Great news, I didn't expect this to be an easy fix.
Timings for svn+rsh vs. http:
~/svn_rsh$ time svn switch svn+rsh://
0.70u 5.40s 0:11.60 52.5%
~/svn_http$ time svn switch http://
3.31u 156.62s 4:11.74 63.5%
For now, I'll switch over to svnserve. What should I do from here? File
an enhancement request for ra_dav? Or is this dramatic enough to be
considered a bug?
Most obvious fix to me would be to just maintain the wcprops in memory
during the operation and store them in the entries file in order to reduce
the huge number of file operations. Or, if possible, eliminate ra_dav's
need for them entirely. Keeping them in seperate files is just enormously
expensive for working copies on an NFS mount, a not exactly uncommon
situation.
