Re: Poor Performance - Subversion 1.1.0 and Apache 2.0.50/2.0.52 on Windows 2000

Don't know if this is related, but I just upgraded from .36 to 1.1.0 on
RH Linux (server) and Windows (client). Everything seems to complete
but is agonizingly slow (status, ls, checkout, update, etc). Repos is
only ~ 250 Mb and was blazingly fast before the upgrade.

Looking forward to 1.1.1 as I am demoing a new software dev. environment
centered around SVN soon and this does not look good.
