Hi Andy,
Thanks for the info, am pretty sure it's the server end AV which is
causing the problem, desktop AV disabled its still really slow, if I
disable the server end and leave the desktop AV running it's a lot
quicker.
Have opened a support case with Kaspersky as they may have encountered
before.
Problem is constantly disabling and re-enabling the AV on the server
isn't good enough for a permanent solution and the server must have AV
running on it as it has many other windows clients saving data to it.
Regards
Chris

On-access virus scanners don't play well with Subversion. You've
already discovered one of the better resolutions - disable the
scanning while doing the checkout. It's odd, though, that even with
scanning network drives disabled, it's still acting like it's scanning
those locations. Is it the virus scan on the server that's causing the
problem, or the one on the client which has mapped the drive? If the
latter, that makes perfect sense.
Another option might be to tell the scanner to exclude any directory
named .svn.
