RE: Performance issues in project folder with many files

Thanks for the suggestion. The cleanup may have saved a second or two,
but it still takes over 10 seconds to "wake up" from a saved change to
one of the tracked files. To be safe, I even removed the local folder
completely, and did a fresh update (using the parent folder) from
subversion. That didn't help noticeably, either.

Try TSVN->cleanup. If the file date changes but the file size does
not, Subversion does a byte-by-byte check to see if the file is really
changed. After cleanup the revised file date is stored in Subversion's
metadata, so it should not have to check that file again.
