Re: Does Subversion enable compression automatically under Apache

Hi!

I cannot agree! When I make Checkin's or Checkout's I arrive up to 20 MB
per minute. Compression is switched of in apache. I'm using a switched
100MBit-Network, so much faster transfers should be possible. Your
speed-checks would interest me!

90% of of the data travelling over the network is file data.  For
checkouts and commits, Subversion sends all file data as binary diffs,
which are essentially already compressed.  So turning on mod_deflate
isn't likely to decrease the amount of network traffic at all.
If anything, might *increase* the total time, because now there's
double (redundant) compression going on, which takes both client and
server CPU even more.
