Re: Windows co very slow timeout then fail.

Christopher,

Perhaps you just run into the same issue I had....
Apparently, the subversion *server* scales pretty bad with the number of
files in a directory. I had one directory with over 5000 files in it
(ACE documentation) and there were problems during checkin and checkout.
A local checkin succeeded, but took more than 15 minutes after the
'transmitting files' stage. A remote checkin succeeded even though the
client reported a connection timeout (the server kept busy about the
same 15 minutes).
Using the repository after this large checkin was terrible.
Checking out that directory would succeed locally (file:///), but fail
remotely (http:/). The local checkout would start at some 3 or 4 files
per second and slow down to 1 file every 5 or so seconds. Really unusable.

The first thing to check is whether the client or the server is busy
chewing. If its the server, perhaps you have the same issue. If it is
the client, it might well be a virus scanner or other things that have
already been suggested.
I use tortoiseSVN on windows and sometimes it jsut takes a long time to
show the proper directory contents. That really is due to the virus
scanner, because the directory contains MS word documents. And also
windows' taskmanager shows that the virus scanner is really very busy.
