SV: [TSVN] TSVNCache.exe stuck using 18-20% CPU

I have seen the exact same behaviour from TSVNCache on my computer, many times.

For no reason what so ever it takes 25-35% of the CPU all the time, without any end.

Since last afternoon my TSVNCache hace taken 5 hours of CPU-time, and under that time nothing have been done with the computer!

* I have a portable computer with a Petium-M processor.
* I have over 500MB of free RAM and no programs on the computer that moves any of the files in the working copy.
* I have tried to disable my Antivirus application, but that have never helped.
* I have runned Filemon from Sysinternals (www.sysinternals.com) to see what TSVNCache and other programs is doing on the disk, and the result have I attached to this mail in a zip-file.
(TSVNCache is accessing a small collection of files in ONE directory in my WC, all the time, hour after hour after hour!)

* I terminated TSVNCache. After a restart of my Explorer-window it started TSVNCache again and it takes now 0-1% of CPU-time, with peeks of 10-20% when I navigate in a Explorer-window. After a while it goes down to 0% again as it should.

* Commits and other commands through TortoiseSVN is after my termination of TSVNCache a LOT faster!

* I don't know now if the behaviour can be trigged again or if it just can happend again after a reboot of the mashine.
        (If it starts again before my next reboot I will be sending a report to this maillist again)

I don't have an answer but from your description it might be a fair to assume the OS has make active use of the swap file because of the amount of memory consumed by the cache in handling such a large WC.

Something you might do is try running CacheMan from http://www.outertech.com and see if that improves the situation.
