It could also be that the SVN patches were *lost* between these revisions -
without one of them there's a vast amount of unnecessary recursion through
the WC tree.
Need to check with Russell. Although I could take the latest TSVN source
and run some of my status-fetch profiling stuff against it, I can't be
confident that I'm building against the same SVN code as Russell does.
This is one of the biggest potential problems with the manually applied
patches - something very similar occurred around 1.0.8, which caused that
release to have terrible performance.
Aside....
Because of the TSVN release policy, people then just have to tolerate the
TSVN regression until there's another SVN release, which can be
months. c.f. Right-click menu, which is currently missing in official
release TSVN and won't be back until SVN makes another release.
I don't support any of the calls for much more frequent 'official
releases', but I do think that where big regression clangers are dropped on
a release, it would be a good idea to do an interim version which fixes them.
... End aside
Cheers,
Will
