Excellent, better idea than mine too.
OK. Did some more testing with r5644 and the tooltip with interesting
results.
After a re-boot the cache crawls to completion and I see it showing 3250
Cached Directories.
Explorer has not been opened at this point.
TSVNCache memory used as shown by Process Explorer was sitting at 11728k.
TSVNCacheWindow shows no further crawling activity from this point on.
To stimulate some disk activity, run ClamAv on C: drive only, which
contains predominantly Windows installed files, (D: gets everything
else, TortoiseSVN included, E: contains active WCs and lots of non
revisioned stuff).
ClamAV runs to completion and pronounces it checked 2152 directories
with just a handful it couldn't open.
Meanwhile, Process Explorer now shows TSVNCache is using approx 50Mb memory.
ToolTip tells us Cached Directories 94635.
TSVNCacheWindow has not crawled during the ClamAV activity but is still
responsive as shown when open Explorer and navigate.
One conjecture I have is that maybe compressed files are being opened
into a temporary folder for scanning by ClamAV but the entries are not
being removed from the cache when the temp file/folder is destroyed.
Anyway, something for you to mull over.
ClamAV is an open source antivirus project on SourceForge for those who
did not know.
