[TSVN] New status cache - startup delay

Hi Will,

Much as I dislike overuse of the word I have to say it: "Wow!"

That does indeed make recursive status useable :-)

My system is a laptop with 800 MHz Intel thingy, 128MB RAM, 40GB disk.
Win2K SP4. I am a bit vague about the spec as it is one I inherited from
my boss.

One feature is that when I start a new explorer window, the right pane
is completely empty for about 5 seconds. The left pane sometimes is as
well, but not always. Oddly, there is no disk thrashing during this
time, and filemon shows no particular activity, maybe 200 file accesses.

No, wait a minute. I already know the answer - it's looking on the
network drives, isn't it? I guess that one will come out in the wash.
All the same, it is disconcerting to see nothing at all, and some people
will want to enable overlays on network drives.

Once it has got over that hurdle, performance is very good. In fact
AFAICT, it seems as fast in recursive mode as it ever was before in
non-recursive mode, so a win all round.

Another curiosity. I get an overlay on C:\ but not on any other drive,
nor on any other unversioned folder, _except_ one folder which itself
contains versioned folders. I also have versioned folders within
C:\Temp, but Temp doesn't appear with an overlay.

Simon
