[Subclipse-users] JavaHLConnector creates a huge amount of short living threads

Whenever I start eclipse with all my svn projects, there are more than
1000 threads created by the JavaHLConnector! This degrades performance
and I have to wait about half a minute until the svn overlays show up
and eclipse is finally usable. I tracked the issue and noticed that in
JavaHLConnector, a new thread is created with each new
ProcessMonitorWrapper. It is much more efficient to use only one thread
to monitor all process monitors!

I have made a patch where one thread as singleton watches all progress
monitors for cancellation. For me this improved the startup speed of
eclpse considerably. This thread stays running all the time (blocked on
a monitor if it has nothing to do), but could also be killed when it
has no more things to watch by adding a timeout to the wait().

Same issue concerns the svnkit connector implementation.

Please consider fixing this issue.

Thank you!
