How about checking out to the local drive for each workstation? Why are
the WCs on a shared network drive? If it's for backups, I'd
tongue-in-cheekly suggest your developers check in more often -- that's
the wonderful thing about version control, you only have to back up a
central repository. I'm developing on a large, enterprise project, and
whilst we're not using Subversion everyone has a personal WC on their
own machine -- no network shares to worry about.
Second question -- how often do you check out as opposed to updating? Is
update/status slow too? That's the more common operation.
Cheers,
Mike.
