Here are the timings for Arlo's source (at least the trunk/ directory)
between the 2GHz Xserve the repository is hosted on and my dual G5 box
over gigabit ethernet. Both machines are running subversion 1.1.2.

svn co -q 'svn+ssh://blah/blah/trunk' = 10 mins 7 secs

That puts 2.4 Gigs of stuff in the sandbox according to 'du'. 79997
files and folders.

svn status trunk = 55 seconds

svn up trunk = 10 seconds

So, my checkout times pretty much matches Arlo's. Ten minutes to bring
down 80000 small files doesn't seem too bad I guess, if it's a one time
hit.

However, my update and status times are way shorter. He's seeing about
10 mins each on those. I'm not sure what to make of that. I don't know
if that means there is something terribly wrong with the Windows
version of subversion, or that the disk caching in OS X is way better
than Windows. I've got 1.5 Gigs of ram in my box. During the time
update is running (about 10 secs) I see about 300-600 transactions/sec
and 4-8 MB/sec of activity on my local drive.

Thoughts?

Dave
