TortoiseSVN has some odd impact upon disk resources

While running most programs that move or alter large quantities of
files or large volumes of data the average system disk queue lengths
for reads and writes will typically be significantly below 1.

In windows XP professional sp2, TSVNCache.exe and other tortoisesvn
processes (ie - updating from a repository, checking out etc) seem to
be pushing the disk read queue to 1 almost constantly. There are a few
periods where it lets up (usually when it spikes the disk write
queue).

This in turn makes my system grind to a halt, able to do almost
nothing, with sporadic bursts of activity when TSVN does something
else and lets the read queue fall a bit.

This occurs in all the latest builds.

If you need any more information (I imagine you might want a breakdown
of my computer hardware in some format, for example), then I'll be
monitoring this thread: but as far as I know, there is nothing unusual
about my machine.
