Re: TSVNCache Status Thread Has Priority Over Crawling Thread?

And to re-iterate what Stephan is saying, the main issue should be
disk contention, not CPU contention - so the thread priority is not a
great tool for manipulating the relative performance of the different
operations - the file/disk system may well complete operations in a
completely different order to that in which they started, in order to
optimise disk accesses.

That said, I'm not really sure why you're seeing 20-50% CPU in
TSVNCache.exe, unless it's fairly narrow spikes. Stephan understands
the current cache an awful lot better than me, so he probably know
where it's going.
