RE: Significant checkout performance degradation between 1.6.1 and 1.7b2

Hi Mark!

Yes, I'm using HTTP. Well, HTTPS, but from the rest of your response, that looks like a minor detail.

This tidbit about the library is interesting news. I just did a bit of mailing-list research on this subject.
How do I switch the library? Is there a command line option or a config-setting for this?
I'm using the precompiled version from collabnet, and have never actually compiled subversion myself.

Regards, Michael
