Re: Perforce versus Subversion

 From the PDF:

"Perforce is architected first and foremost for speed."

Were that anything more than just marketing droid speak, I would
chuck out Perforce on the basis of that sentence alone. I want my
version control system to be architected first and foremost for
keeping all of my code versions secure. Speed is a secondary
consideration.
