What about on switch? We usually create feature branches, and once we
create a branch off of trunk and switch to it, it takes a long time for
the workspace to be built (There are no changes in the files, as the
branch is identical to trunk). During this time the CPU is at 100%. I
just did one now, and it took a good 5 minutes to switch.
