Cool tool :-)

Only posting snippets here, since some of the data would be sensitive.

The irony is that the file activity is the same on both boxes in terms
of what gets looked at:

1. As I right click, I see what looks like a load of code page checks
from tortoise along the lines of:

637 10:56:40 explorer.exe:3628 FASTIO_QUERY_OPEN C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\iconv\cp1252.so NOT FOUND Attributes: Error

642 10:56:40 explorer.exe:3628 IRP_MJ_CLOSE C:\Program
Files\TortoiseSVN\iconv\windows-1252.so SUCCESS

Why on earth are all these checks done on every right click?!
(that said, these aren't the slow bits, so I dont' really care ;-)

I then see these (I right clicked on C:\Zope\RAEmailer, which is the
root directory of a checkout):

Now, this goes through all the entries and format files (along with
other stuff you find in .svn) recursively for the whole checkout :-(
Waaagh :-( Why is this happening?

The confusing thing is that the same number of files seem to get checked
on the laptop and the desktops is the same, just doing so takes a
helluva lot more time on the desktop, even though the desktop is a
higher spec machine. Any ideas as to why that is?

In any case, probably a better question to ask is how to stop tortoise
recursing through all these files just 'cos I right-clicked?

cheers,

Chris
