commiting a large number of files

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to migrate a large project (~ 6k files, 100Mb) to
subversion, however, I have been experiencing some performance issues.

I am not sure whether it is an usability issue or not, maybe you guys can
help out (Obs: I am using SVN with TortoiseSVN over MSWindows 2000).

Ok, lets say I have edited a few files (ten files or so) spread all around
my many directories, so when I open the windows explorer on the first level
under my project root most of the folders are marked with the red flag.

I select all of them, right lick and choose "commit". I have to wait at
least 8 minutes before the changed files list (where you are prompted for
the commit comment) is fully displayed.

Is that right?? I am guessing that subversion (or maybe tortoisesvn) is
checking all files for modifications, although they had already been flagged
"green" or "red" as in "up-to-date" and "modified"

Well... that's about it... any thoughts would be very much appreciated.

best regards,
