Comparing the time to get all the props of 157 files I see the following
performance. I report two times for each tool. The first is the time
taken
immediately after a checkout. The second time is taken immediately
after the first test run and will benefit from the OS cache. I'm using
Mac OS X as the test system.
1.3.2 svn proplist - 1.613s 1.524s
1.4.0rc3 svn proplist - 0.504s 0.495s
python proplist - 0.023s 0.022s
1.4 is 3 times faster then 1.3.2
python code is 70 times faster the 1.3.2
and still 21 times faster then 1.4.0
I would guess that you cannot close the gap until you have an API that
allows one call into svn client lib to get all the proplist for 1
directory.
