Re: Expected speed of commit over HTTP?

Paul,

Got back from Ops. We don't have anything "special" setup other than what already been mentioned. Overall the defining metrics for commit performance are: ssh vs https, rtt on the network path and "randomness" of the blobs going up.

No magic params on our end. We have it tuned the max via the metrics above.

Most of the real world use cases require the default settings so curl, etc isn't seen a lot in the wild.

Overall Dav and http is a poor transport in general for SVN.

Hope it helps.
