Hi, Thanks for replying.
The server is running RHEL4.0 64Bit on a dual core 3Ghz PentiumD, but it has
an old build of SVN 1.3.1 and Apachie WebDAV. The clients are windows XP
machines using NTFS and up to date svn 1.4.3 clients and the machine used
for testing was a Pentium 3ghz.
I found posting that says SVN takes 2x longer on NTFS than FS-Ext3 but that
would still mean an 90 minutes checkout which seems very slow. I found
another posting explaining that binary files need a base64 translation to be
send over the XML stream but on fast(ish) machines I wouldn't expect this to
be too much of a problem.
I guess I'm really looking for some kind of benchmark through put figures
which I can measure our set-up against and see if it's just that SVN is slow
checking out large binary files, or if it is a problem with our set-up.
Thanks
Rich

its probably the filesystem on the checkout computer that cant keep up
what OS and filesystem are you checking out with / to ?

Hi,
Our current server set-up is SVN 1.3.1 using Apache/2.0.52 using windows
clients with svn 1.4.3. We experience very slow checkout/update times. To
check out an 9gb repository consisting of mainly large files 300-500mb in
size it takes approx 3 hours. To directly copy this data from the save
server it takes approx 12 minutes. Using Filemon it can be seen that svn is
writing the files in 1/2k chunks which would go some way to explaining the
poor checkout speed.
Is this the expected performance of svn ? Which set-up gives the better
performance Apache or svnserve ?
Thanks
Rich
